I have taken my Engine completely apart down to just the short block. It has a Water freeze crack on the exterior of the block about 4 inches in length. I have had machine shops tell me they can pin the crack test to assure it hold pressure. It also has a crack about 3 and half inches between two of the water holes on the top of the block beside the number 2 sleeve. Has an one had any experience with crack pining and it"s results ? Should I be looking for a short block replacement? The Sleeves look good considering having them honed and re surfacing the crank, checking the cam, and rebuilding.
One Machinist didn"t recommend the pinning and felt strongly about finding a short block.
Any thoughts? Any knowledge of available short blocks ?
