It cant be fixed?

 

Im not sure its resleeve able, gm freezes the blocks and adds the sleeves.. Id get another engine..

 

what about the crack in the water jacket even if I resleeve is that strong enough?

 

Get another block.

 

The block is a good candidate for the Darton MID sleeves. I would not attempt to fix it with a dry liner since the aluminum appears to be cracked. The MID installation process completely eliminates the aluminum wall so a cracked wall makes no difference.

I can resleeve that block to 4.125" + bore if you are interested in putting together an all bore engine or something larger with a stroker crank.

You can PM me for pricing.

Wow, im a ford guy, but who cares, seeing a nice piece of machinery hurt/killed like that makes me sad Sorry. New block imho...use it as an excuse to go radical

 

I'll take the block. I could use a new coffee table in my office

Steve D. is correct, but that is not the cheapest option.
Recycling is a good one, I'm with recycling, help mother earth

 

No way your gonna fix that man, sorry.

 

im looking at a ls6 block brand new for 1000 what ya guys think?

 

Like I said before...Texas speed selld brand new LS6 blocks for $599...

 

I dont understand what you guys are talking about with the timing marks being off? I have a double roller siting in front of me that has up to 8 degrees of advance or retard. For each degree there is a respective keyway in the crankshaft. I am about to install this chain and cam in my motor and am trying to figure out how it could be installed wrong? Even if the dot for the cam was installed at the top and the crank dot at the top it would still be correct. Anyone have any comments on this?

 

yea i agree!!!!!!

 

This is why it's a good idea to degree a cam. As far as thne double roller goes. Does it have a 2 piece crank gear with several offset marks going around the outter gear, and one single mark on the inner gear hub? Or is it a one peice gear? I have seen some and you use the single mark on the gear hub for timing, and the outter marks on the gear itself is for advance and retard.

OH! Don't waste your money on that block. It's junk.

 

This is what I was talking about, people aligning the wrong marks. I've seen pictures of the same thing before, but never actually used a double roller myself so I can't say exactly what happened. Obviously something was installed wrong for that to happen to a motor.
