A friend of mine just bought some cast iron heads off of RJ and the ad didn't say that they were filled. Low and behold when he got them they were filled. Is there a way to get the block filler out or is he screwed?

sounds like someone used too much block fill...then tried to make money off the mistake....might wanna check with Curtis Boggs at Raceflow....he would be the person to ask

Are the heads completely filled??? or just a little bit? Somebody PLEASE EXPLAIN to me what the point of filling the heads would be because I never heard of it and definitely wouldn't try it!!!

x2 In the most remote possibility that someone was going to use a filled CI head for blown alcohol - maybe. But my guess (I agree with radicalz)somebody did not know what they were doing.

the only time that I could see a need to do this would be when the cylinder heads have a huge mill or angle mill job done & the squish area has become excessively thin to the point that collapse is possible

If it were me, the question would be "How is the seller going to get the cylinder heads out of his butt...."

They are filled completely. I don't know why anyone would do this either, but the only reason I can think of is that they were running alchohol???

I kinda figured he was screwed, but I thought I would at least ask to see if anyone knew of a way. Thanks everyone!

If anybody does that to RJ members in NW Georgia, PM me. I will do a noharm/nofowl visit as my work allows.
My obversation and tools taken to the site may not be perfect, but I may be smart enough to help.

Hey tcarda could you give us the add number or the user name of the person your buddy bought the heads from so someone else doesn't get burned by this person? I'll put them on the "List"

the only reason they would be filled is if they were cracked all to hell , so you are screwed either way , :(

OK, I will ask him for the username or the ad number. I guess I didn't know about the list. The only thing that I know right now is that they came from N.C.

YUP HE IS S.O.L. !!!, When I filled my block to the bottom of water pump holes I oopsed. The head bolt holes are bilnd on my merlin II block. Closed off one side of the block. I used Muratic acid in it and got a small portion out. But in the I ended up cross drilling water ports into it and drilling trough the back of the block to go around the rear cyl. Worked like a charm using 9/16 concrete bits. But in the heads his s.o.l.
