I have a swiftech block on my 4850 and it is leaking right by the screws holding the block together. I have tighten those bitches as much as possible, think its a bad block? Any suggestions??
 
Have you determined where it is leaking from? It could be from an oring if it was tightened while it was in the wrong position.
 
Which swiftech block, the MCW60? Sounds like you should take the block apart as the gasket is either missing, or it has a break in it. Did you do a part check before installing?
 
I took it apart and tested every piece of the block and could not find a leak. Looks like the leak was actually a small pin hole in to tube that was dripping down the block making it look like the block was leaking. I cut off the bad tubing and now everything is flowing smoothly :). I was out of coolant so I just put in destilled water for the time being.
