Aluminum slant block

i guess you hot tank it like they do with motorcycle engine cases
TIG up anything that needs it
machine deck and heads
water and a bottle of K-seal for break in
and then use a modern coolant...

Rover in the UK ended up with the buick 215 because GM got so sick of issues with it in the US. they licenced the design and Rover had great success

it is generally understood that those issues were mainly due to the use of the wrong coolant...
blue stuff for iron motors was not what was needed

did the same happen with aluminium slant?

basically if the motors had been maintained by the team that designed them, rather than "Bill and Teds horseless-carriage crash repair and servicing". would the issues have happened

Their biggest downfall....besides the corrosion was the lack of top cylinder support. There was no deck surface.
