Re: Pressure Testing a Block
I would be a bit wary with 50 lbs in a fairly thin walled cast iron block. When I blew out that 12 ply 'roller' tire at 30 lbs, the explosion was extremely violent and caused a most unfortunate permanent hearing loss that I live with today. That's way more pressure, and I would imagine schrapnel could be involved. (Never thought I'd be one of those safety guys).
