Have some crust on my sleeves. about 1 1/2 inches below deck height. It goes around all of the sleeves.
wondering if this is bad or just somethin' that should just be cleaned.
I just bought this thing last night. The sleeves were slightly twisted but have a friend that bought an old benson block with the same thing and his car runs fine. I didnt see the crust until this moring. Which is something I have never heard about.
Any insight would be great.

Btw this is an old benson block..

 

i believe that is excess epoxy, you should be fine. that looks like a really old benson block to me.

 

yeah it is old... its flaking off thats the thing. there is some way down at the bottom. some even came out when i turn over the block?
How would I go about removing it?

 

gotta be old mine has the same thing

 

Yea thats just some honda bond on there, It's fine. How is the copper ring on top? Maybe replace them with new ones so you get a better seal, since it's not assembled yet. Just a thought.

 

Btw the stuff is a tan color. but the flash makes it look grey..

 

did yours flake like that?

 

Not honda bond. Its a tan color. Honda bond is grey.
Stuff feels like dry clay?

 

my old benson block had the same thing as well. i just took flat head and scraped it off.

 

that'll work. haha.

anyways. since its copper o-ringed what would be the max bore to the sleeves. I wanted to do 83? right now its stock 81 bore.
would that be possible.
also whats the best, step deck or flat deck.
