Never been run or assembled. With a little extra work, by either brazing or welding the sleeves in the top of the block, hard block it up to the bottom of the water plate, or a little below the plate, it would hold water out of the cyls without a deck plate. If the hard bock is done right, it should not leak in the oil. The sleeves have a rough ridged pattern on the outside of the em,, the hard block will actually soak into these ridges and help hold em in even more. The way it is now,,, without the finish work, no it would not hold water. $375. We usually run em on the block,, hardblocked up to the bottom of the plate,,, Ive yet to overheat any of the engines we have done like this even at 15 to 1 compression ratio. Problem was,,, the darn sleeves leaked water inthe oil, I got tired of changing the oil after each day, and after a while, changed it after every run,, so I torn it down and totally redesigned what I had. It had taken me 3 years to find a good block,,, what I mean by that is, taking off the water plate, looking at the cyl walls from the outside,, and not seing any kind of rust. Found one that still had the primer inside the water jacket, looked like brand new. I went with a C169, (300) block. Im sure it will do what I ask of it and hold up for years at over 100 hp at rated rpm. Chad
