Does anyone know which blocks are older?-thick or thin flange blocks? Some people say the thick flange blocks are older, it was changed to thin flange to save some metal - some say they made thick flange blocks because of reliability problems with thin flange blocks?! Any comments? Bimmer Twinky headed and turboed A-Series:
