The guy I sold the car called me yesterday and wanted me to look at the block, I was off fishing so I said I would stop later, he took it to a local mechanic and he confirmed what he was afraid of, there is a 6 in crack on the outside of the block! I am getting pi$$ed now, I have paid now for 2 blocks to be prepped, 2 sets of cam bearings, 2 gasket sets---I think I will strongly suggest the machine shop stand behind this, I had the block boiled and asked them to check it out before they started on it, I never looked at the block closely and I guess they never did either. The machine shop people are supposed to be the pros. :wtf
