LS2 vs. LQ4

Just head over to the LS1tech.com website and search cracked aluminum blocks, there are a few BS post in there but a few others that are talking about their block cracking and if they should JB weld it etc etc etc. I'm not sure why you find it hard to beleive that any engine with enough load and power will crack. Why is it so much harder to believe that the softer aluminum metal can crack if under too much pressure?? Its like youre trying to argue that the sky is blue 100% of the time in vegas and it will never rain.

PLAIN AND SIMPLE ALL BLOCKS CRACK UNDER EXTREME PRESSURES, TEMPS, AND LOAD. Softer metal has a tendacy to crack or warp sooner then harder metals. Have you ever heard of a warped head?? Have you heard of a warped iron head?? Metal warps guys no matter how you slice it. If not then blocks would never have an issue other than internals. I've seen personally cracked main journals, infact my bottom end came out of a cracked block. The guy went to build it and didnt realize it was crack until he seated the the crank into the main journal then gave up. Sold the whole setup to me and i used an iron 5.3l block, bored it to 3.903 noched the block and put in a 4.000" crank with 6.25 rods in there -30cc dished pistons.

I searched and found one that said the main saddles had cracked. That's severe. All the others were due to catastrophic failures or amatuer hour at the head swap shop. Water doesn't compress at the bottom of a head bolt hole and when you tighten the head bolts it blows out the aluminum and breaks/cracks the block. I've even done that one myself long ago. God, did I honestly admit that in a public forum?

thats a long rod bud, dont think ive heard of anyone using a 6.25 rod. Mr. I know more then you. can i ask another question if you dont mind? why the back pedaling

Please dont try to be a smart ass. 6.125 im sorry i missed the 1 key.
In case you have no idea about that since you like to make people look stupid ill make you look just as dumb. Even a moron couldve figured out that i mean 6.125 rod length.

Do I need to post more links for you or can you handle the search button??

And quote me where I back pedaled please!!?

Here's my original post to this thread "
LS1/LS2/LS6 = bad idea on 5000lb monsters...if you put the power to it that is!! You have a much higher chance of warping or cracking the block with that kind of load" find my back pedal

And for the record, if youre going to make fun of someone, at least use the proper spelling of words...Mr. I know more "then" you.
