Thats not the best quality pic, but that block definitely doesn't look too good.

Looks pretty fubard to me. I can't tell how deep the crack is, but it can't be good. Under load you're going to have some block distortion.

Trash it.

SPG Oct 1, 2007 05:10 PM

thought so, been running rich that side, compression way off, running real sick..........guess its time for upgrades!

think i can feel a ridge where the liner may have moved also

Yep, that block has gone to LSX heaven. Time to upgrade.

Cant get any better images..........but the crack is deep and i can definately feel ridges around the two liners where it feels like the liners have come out of the block a little

FWIW aluminum is paying out nicely for scrap here...

You could make a table out of it. That seems to be the popular trend in this section recently.

Da Swami Oct 1, 2007 09:32 PM

Just throw a little JB Weld and some duct tape on it, lol

You could get the liners cut out, the block welded up, put new liners in, and deck it flat. Or save a thousand or so and get a new block. :burn:
