Epoxy engine block mod

[Scol]

Has anyone ever done or considered doing this mod to strengthen the factory weak liners ?

I do not have any first-hand exerience, however the Honda and BMW communities have been using this method for years with great success.

I mean for backyard engineering it works, but epoxy and aluminum do not expand at the same rate and it will eventually cause issues... If I'm making big enough power to support the block I would just spend the cash on this

I have a Toyota block sitting in my garage for the last 10yrs looking for a buyer. The block has copper inserts and I was going to have someone build this 3TC block into a screamer for my Corolla, but I retired from rallying.
