Sounds like you are running a 466 block with the recesses between the sleeves. Call Riverside back and ask Phil why he didn't recommend the sleeve keys that sit between the sleeves to eliminate this issue. Seen it before. |

Yep riverside forgot to send then liner keys for us also. Funny thing is they put the Long block together for us.
We put the fire rings in the sleeves filled the gap in the sleeve with JB Weld installed head before JB Weld set up. Sounds stupid but it has held for 2 years we build 1340 hp. |
