    Front block leak

    I picked up this Black Magic a while ago and finally got around to looking at the significant leak from the shocktech front block. There's gotta be something missing, because there's no way these oring seal anything. Could it be a wrong block for the body, or does it take square cut orings? I'm not terribly familiar with cocker front ends yet.

      That's what I was thinking. Needs a snout to get in there and seal.

        That's a later 05/karni style front block. Won't work with that body

              Building a karnivor around this front block won't work? And just getting a prostock block for the BM?

                This is correct. It may also be a 05/06 black magic, I think they are cut the same but I'm not positive on that one.

                05 pro/super stock has a short snout, karnivor is the same shape but has a longer snout
