All this time I had no idea what a WAP block was so I did some quick research
"The WAP block on the left has been cast
at Windsor Aluminum Plant since 2001.
The Teksid block on the right was cast in
Italy from 1993 to 1999. The WAP block
shows the extensive ribbing that was
added to compensate for a thinner case
section. The WAP block is 5 lbs lighter
than the Teksid block on the right. The
Teksid block is the strongest production
aluminum case available."
My question is I hear people talking about getting this Teksid block all the time, where are all these coming from if they have not been produced for 15 years?? Has someone else taken over production, or when I read you guys got that block for a rebuild, you guys are obtaining and using a
used block?? Reading above the WAP is still being produced today?
Nice build BTW, been following it, sorry for the hijack
Some good reading
