Hardblok emailed me back, they do not have a Canadian distributor.
I really do not like the counter clowns at Mopac so would hate to have to buy the moroso stuff from them. I like the owners, I bought my first N2O kit from George back in the 80s.
will keep hunting the embeco 885

my block is cleaned and checked out at the machine shop.
so to fill it I still need my main studs and girdle to arrive from Mikes Diesel
do I waste a set of head gaskets to torque the heads on while it cures?

Subbed, I feel I will be needing to know all of this someday soon.

I used Hardblok, got it from jegs. I did basically the same steps that Hotrodtractor did, except I had some metal plates instead of wood blocks. Mine was filled to just above the freeze plugs.

Whats the flow path of coolant so that one can make it so the oil cooler still gets flow?

coolant flow for the oil cooler doesnt seem that difficult
the end that goes to the front cover probably wont be affected by a block fill
the other end that goes to the block probably needs to have coolant get to it.

Iv used embecco 885 and it is good stuff. It contains a good bit of metallic aggregate and matches the thermal expansion properties of the block the closest I have seen.
When I do them I thoroughly clean the water jackets with a pressure washer. Install your main caps and girdle. Tape off the deck and cut out around water jackets. Make revisions to allow coolant flow to the water pump and oil cooler. I used tubing to simulate the passage then tape it off. Mix up your filler to a consistency that will flow easily. Fill one side to desired level. Torque head on that side or I use a deck plate. Wait 12 hours do the same to the other side. Check the filler and remove the passage provisions as soon as the filler is cured enough. Using a screw driver smooth ports and remove excess from around ports and in the tops of the water jackets. Once both sides are done let cure for a week then have your machine work done to the block ensuring they check line bore

no go on Brock and White in Canada. local said they carry it in Winnipeg head office, then changed that to they dont have it and tried to sell me some non metallic Target crap that is nothing like what I was asking for.
is there a distributor in WA state for Embeco885 which I believe is now Masterflow885?
appreciate any help in this.
