Weak , thinwall siamesed blocks that overheat ring a bell? I wouldnt build one unless I was using a bowtie or decent aftermarket block despite anyone elses annectdotal evidence. Ive seen a few with holes in the cylinders and blown out head gaskets, cracked webbing etc from overheating after hard use. When they were plentiful you couldnt give one away except to someone who wanted to regrind the crank.Now that most of them have broken theyre suddenly in demand. I think not.
