Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I could end up with no block or money if I sent it back.
I dropped the block at the machine shop last week to have the block and cap magnafluxed. I just got the results back and thankfully there are no cracks. If there were cracks I was going to send it back since the block would be unusable.
I have decided to have the block repaired.
Here is the machine shop list so far.
*Re-cut the main caps and cap registers on the block.
*Line hone the mains
*Bore the lifters to.904.
*Repair the threads in a striped out dry sump port at the back of the block
*Deck the block
I should have followed my gut instinct on this purchase. I knew something was wrong and I should have listened to my gut. I was going through a tough time with a death in the family I didn't pay enough attention to this deal. Expensive lesson for me.
Out of the all the transactions I have had here on Racing Junk (probably close to 100 over 9 years) this has been the only negative experience I have had. This is still the best place for buying and selling cars and parts.
