Overtighten the intake bolts on a sbf and you can measure the distortion in the base pan rail.
The block needs to be "flexible" or it will crack. I'm certain PEL is beyond the limits but we'll see for sure now!

I know that the cast block is flexible and will deflect, but I wasn't aware that it would deform, with deflection becoming permanent.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
