TerrainBlock to 16, screw up WaterBlocks?

Trying to track down a peculiar problem in the game editor.

First off some info.

I'm working with the code for the 3DGPAiL book with a friend putting it up as they go through it. (I also own the book, though I am jumping around.)

First thing I did was try to resize the map by editing the TerrainBlock to block size 16 because we need as big a map as we can get (and we were told elsewhere here that 32 isnt quite enough detail.)

This is the old/original terrainblock gotten from a default tutorial map.

new TerrainBlock(Terrain) {
rotation = "1 0 0 0";
scale = "1 1 1";
detailTexture = "./detail1";
terrainFile = "./trackA.ter";
squareSize = "8";
bumpScale = "1";
bumpOffset = "0.01";
zeroBumpScale = "8";
position = "-1024 -1024 0";
locked = "true";
};

This is the new terrainblock which I edited up.

new TerrainBlock(Terrain) {
rotation = "1 0 0 0";
scale = "1 1 1";
detailTexture = "./detail1";
terrainFile = "./SMC-Track.ter";
squareSize = "16";
bumpScale = "1";
bumpOffset = "0.01";
zeroBumpScale = "16";
position = "-2048 -2048 0";
locked = "true";
};

I could have sworn I did the math right and the terrain file is just a copy of the trackA.ter terrain file.

My question though is, is it possible that I somehow screwed something up and the waterblocks that I am placing on this map are using the old terrainblock settings to decide where the edges of the water are?

thats what it looks like to me. They are up in the air and really curvy like they are going around terrain, but there is no terrain anywhere near the waterblocks.

Ive also noticed that if I move the water block the location does not update in the paramters listing in the inspector and if i apply new paramaters it resets the location. Kind of makes moving the waterblock by hand pointless. But I am not sure how that is related.

Just wondering if anyone has run into this before or if this is some stupid error on my part for changing the terrain blocks.

There is no documentation that I can find on the specifics of terrain blocks or waterblocks for me to really know if I am dong everything correctly. 100$s is kind of steep if I am not going to be using the C++ code.
