Title: My cracked block
Post by: fatmobile on September 19, 2008, 11:39:44 pm

I took this to the shop to get bored and they found this crack:'

 I think pistons hit valves in this engine before I got it, bad crank sprocket keyway.
 This crack is in the 3rd main, working it's way down the oil supply hole and deeper into the block.

Yeah, I never thought of looking there but I guess they've seen it on the chevy V8s.
 They saved me a bunch of trouble,.. probably shouldn't complain about them being slow. :)
