Golden Eagle blocks are not junk! I have been running for close to three years now on my GE block with absolutely no problems. Granted they have admitted to having problems with the maching process during the summer time, but since the machining and adhesion processes have been changed to remedy the "sinking" situation.

That's the funniest one I have heard in a while, almost as good as "tuning on EGTs alone b/c a/f isn't the way to tune"

might be different but alot of volvo guys use it so.... but they are advertised as knife edged head gasket from the profile how they look on the inside ring...
