They were cast in Turkey from a slightly different quality iron.....
They are usually perfect upto about 450Bhp but due to inconsistent casting processes there have been failures below this level

They aint gonna be cheap though unfortunately, but a whole lot cheaper than alloy ones that`s for sure

99 blocks good to 600bhp without a problem. MADAde uses a high mileage 99 Block with 650+bhp with no probs thus far. The 2 High profile Block failures at MAD were pushing a new 99 Block past 650bhp. For 99% of applications im sure its OK.
