    repair

    bae is great for block repairs. george santos, s&s auto does a fine job as well. i've heard good things from people who have had bill reichert fix a block as well. i was told that reichert has a line bore tool that only cuts the cap that needs to be replaced, opposed to cutting into the block on all of them.

    it seems the lifespan on caps in a screw/psi motor is about 60-80 runs.

    What ever happened to just replacing the cap with a new one and alighboring? Welding on it will change the metal properties. To much at risk to take the chance of welding.

    Will that 60 to 80 runs can be shortened to one if detonation occurs.
