yeah i saw it. but for $380 that it would cost for the kit, makes me wonder if its worth saving the ls block. is there anything else out there. i have all kinds of taps and bits i can do it myself but i cant find inserts anywhere

if there is nothing already modified on the block, ie aftermarket sleeves, I would just get a new block, it is definitely not worth the hassle. Trust me I replaced 4 of them with timeserts
