Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. All the years we've done pressure testing here on both blocks and heads we've never had one "bounce".

Pressure testing can be carried too far. I was given the block that is in my pickup after a guy pressure tested it at 160 psi and blew a pea sized hole in the #5 intake valve pocket. I repaired it and have put 12,000 miles on it with no problems but a little prudence would likely have saved a lot of trouble.
