I was hoping that the block failures would be limited to just a few, maybe from one pour.....but after looking at the pictures and reading the new posts over the past few days that this is wide spread and not an isolated failure limited to a few blocks. Who knows how many bad blocks are out there. KRE or K&M did not put serial numbers on the blocks so it is hard to track.
K&M along with KRE, which in my mind are one in the same, did not have a clue to their business. Dil....did you see the pictures yet. How is your conspiracy theory working out for you now? Good luck with your new KRE block and heads.

You boys happy with that "Butter" block now?
You'all thought it was all a conspiracy huh? The only way you rip a complete bulkhead out of a block and crack the other bulkhead is when the block doesn't have the tensile strength. So much for the 35,000 KPSI BS. Tom V. ps I have been told by the owner of the block that there were no signs of detonation on the bearings.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
