It's pretty deep. the two sides of the crack are different heights, 3/4 of a millimeter. I can see quite a ways into it, but light doesn't pass into the bolt hole or vice-versa. I'm trying to take some better pictures.
Thanks Jay.

That looks like a head bolt hole. It's toast. I'd chuck it.
There was someone looking for a bad aluminum block in the classifieds to make a table out of...
You might look him up.
That's only good for furniture now!
I'd find another machine shop unless they replace the cam bearings.
I might find another machine shop anyways...

I think I'm just going to use the 5.3 I have laying around. The ls1 was gonna go into a daily driver. I just need a running car since the cam in my 3.4 bit the dust. Any motor is going to be better than the 94hp that 3.4 put out.
