340 block with NO main caps

Bury them for seasoning ??? WTF kinda backwoods **** is that. I have heard of running the potential build engine as your tow rig engine for a season or 2 of hot and cold cycling to stiffen it up to prevent or lessen core shift letting the block take a set. Then pull it and machine it. Never heard to bury one. Thats some backwoods **** right there. Does nothing to "season" the block. Just costs you more in machining costs.
