[QUOTE="BBottoms, post: 694813, member: 1421"] Just thinking out loud, but that doesn't seem like awful idea, actually. It sounds like there are two holes in particular that tend to crack. If you used TTY bolts, or even a lower torque on those two head studs, that could help prevent the problem. The downside is that it will cause the block to be tweaked a miniscule amount in one way. Theorectically it could throw a cylinder out of perfect round, but we're talking 2 bolts out of 20 here so it's probably not anything to worry about. It would also obviously create a 'weak' spot in each head gasket. However, I would much rather blow a head gasket than ruin a block. [/QUOTE]
