re: the zinc phosphate primer, is that something the machine shop does? or did you do that yourself? how long does it last and does it eventually slowly peel?

sweet build btw!

thanks

My workshop does it. Hasnt had one come back yet with issues. He does have an old block from a 2002 in the workshop that had it done about 10 yrs ago.....still the same as the day he did it.

It wont give you any extra HP or anything. It simply allows the oil to drain/run back into the sump quicker. Just a long term maintance thing I guess you could say. It stops the oil sticking to the insides of the block as much after being srayed around in there.

Its called Zinc phosphate primer. Aids in getting the oil back to the sump quicker.

Forgive my ignorance on the subject, but could you further explain this for me? I've currently got a block being powder coated before I have it machined and want to know how this might benefit my stroker.

VAC or SBI DTM-style Oil Pan is what i have and is what you should get for peace of mind, I had the Turner Pan Baffle and still spun a rod bearing.
