Following the directions in the Moroso sheet. Go to Home Depot or Lowes and get bath tub tile grout. Thats what we used in our engines and it works just fine only you don't have to pay for the name.

I had it in a small block 400 with lots of nitrous on it. It seemed to help ring and cylinder wall life. The leak down was much better with it than with out it.
I don't know about it being hot tanked. Never had to take it that far down again.
RPM, did you fill the block completely? did the engine hold up or did you find a weak link somewhere else? How much power were you throwing at it? I know of one local racer here that gave up on factory 400 blocks after fighting with cracked cylinders on three builds but I don't think he was filling the blocks completely-only half fill and the oil temps went up he said. Now he's running an aftermarket block, no fill and no problems, 377 spinning 9500rpm.
I used a tall fill just like the Moroso instructions. Ran the car 2 years at the strip. Had a 250 shot on it. The car ran 6.0 in the 1/8.. How much power did it make don't really know for sure...It was a Chevy Monza that weighed about 2500 lbs, just guessing. Sold the car to buy some machine shop equipment.
