Cracked 317s
Cracked 317s Broke a piston, took the heads off found cracks between the valves on 3 cylinders
Am I retarded for considering running these? It's clear that there was no combustion leaking from the cracks. The cracks are so small it's hard to see. The only reason I found them is because I've seen it before in 317s so I was looking pretty hard.
Someone cosign my bullshit and tell me to run them. Lol

Like tax man said 317's come up a lot and for a good price. Or if you don't want that call around to engine builders most builders are good at repairing heads and don't charge much for it. I damaged a set of ls3 heads and had my builder repair them pretty cheap.
its just more time and money.
And it seems pretty common for these heads. Ive got 2 sets here that are cracked like that, both coming off good running engines and neither set indicates there being coolant burning or combustion leaking from valve to valve.
I might be able to get my hands on some ported 241's for free. Needs a valve job and surface.
Sucks, because ,my 317's have a fresh valve job and deck, and they are really clean.
Any chance i can weld them and not have to do a valve job and deck?
