no it wouldnt... its a cast iron block from the factory, it will easily take 15psi

it doesn't matter if the engine is old or new, as long as the compressions are still great then it's perfectly fine.

spoken with such wisdom.. my ka-t makes 260 @ 8lbs..

yea i figured since it was iron block it'd be fine but i talked to a few people who said they wouldnt do it. oh well... ill probably go ka-t or ca...
