[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 14536856, member: 8854"] What hidden costs or issues are you referring to with the teksid? It was my understanding you have to grind down the knock sensor bosses on the top of the block and there's one missing bolt hole for the timing cover which apparently you can tap and thread if you want or just simply silicon over and ignore. Is there more to it I'm missing? Or are you referring to buying a completely built Aluminator vs building a teksid motor from a block? If so I see where you're coming from. I already rebuilt my motor in 09 and prefer to do it that way again. I know exactly what's in there and what every bearing, ring, and piston clearance is etc. You know how that goes... if you want it done right do it yourself :) [/QUOTE]
