I wouldn't assume anything. When the techs are away, the tinkerers will play.Tillotson make a 212 also and the block is more stout than the predator 212 block and doesn’t have the hole in the block for the wires for the oil sending unit it’s solid and has some built in bracing in the block casting in one or two other areas on the block which is why I assume they all run it. Thanks again for you help.
