Title: dp engine codes
Post by: beetlemandan on November 14, 2009, 12:37:43 PM

i got a few dp blocks coming my way, what are the best ones to keep? a questionable source gave me a little doubt, so are AK, AE and AH blocks all about the same alloy?is there one i should avoid boring for bigger cylinders?

The AK and AH cases are exactly the same.  They are the latest design, with 8mm threaded inserts for the headstuds.  The AE case is also exactly the same, but without the head stud inserts.  To use that one is just a bit extra work to put the inserts in.
