In Reply to: Cracked block repair posted by David Beasley on October 31, 2013 at 08:32:34:
Thanks for the advice fellas... I cleaned up the block a little with a die grinder on the inside. Im not totally convinced its cracked. After further inspection, It looks more like a casting flaw. I"m going to have it magnafluxed to be sure. There are two areas that are in question: They are a half-inch apart and separated by a reinforcement "rib" on the inside of the block. The smaller of the two looks like the metal was smudged when the block was cast in the die. The other looks similar but more pronounced like a crack or a seam. If you look on the inside in the water jacket area, there are similar marks....not as long and offset as if it cracked (if its a crack) at an odd angle thru the metal. I think this is a bad cast. I have some experience with aluminum die casting engine blocks and if memory serves this happens when the metal isn"t hot enough resulting in a "cold cast". I"ll let y"all know what I find... David
