Re: 010 block?

supposedly, an 010 020 block is a high tin/ high nickle content block. i have one here, 2 bolt main, 010 020... pistons are worn completly out, and 5 of them had both compression rings broke. not a single scratch or ridge on the cylinder.

now with that said,i dont think a 3970010 block is neccasirly an 010 block, it has to have 010 020 under the timing cover and above the oil filter
