New Banger block in the works.

Definitely interested in this project. The first aluminum 5 main block looks awesome. Looking forward to more updates on these.

What is the plan for valve seats in the aluminum block. Press in, screw in or some other secret method. I have heard of aluminum side valve engines having troubles in this area.

There is a cast iron 5 bearing A block available.

Have there been any further developments of this block?

I saw the Burtz had landed. I had an interest in this aluminum block as well.

 

I believe there are several going together currently, I haven't paid much attention. Check the monthly banger thread.
