Hi mate, look VERY carefully around the centre 6 head stud holes, and check all 10 carefully. Also look for any cracking in the bores. A turkish block will have 99 as the last two numbers cast into the side, in the sort of extended oval with the block serial number in.

Made out of 100% purest Belgian chocolate. They're 'new' 200 blocks cast recently, but have soon turned out to be junk.
