Hi Mac, mag the block as a second choice, pressure test it as a first choice. Magging is NOT 100% effective, pressure testing is the only guarantee. Doing both is fine!
Ask the shop if they use a block-plate when finish honing the bores?? and see if they are able to pin the heads and gaskets to the block like the SBC's??
Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. Also ask about modifying the block for the 95% oil filtering setup. This is the time to have that done.
