wasn't exactly to much pressure, the block was either rusted in the water passages or the block had been froze prior to me getting ahold of it. i just had 700 bucks worth of machine work done to it:mad: i had a pressure regulator on the inlet, but the pressure musta spiked hard and found the weak spot in the block:( wasn't a good labor day for me:rolleyes:

i've found other blocks , just lookin for a unmolested 1 to start with.
yes, i had the block magged, you'd never been able to see it where it came thru at. it left a hole big enough to plug up with a pinky finger, i don't see any crackin around the hole.
everything in the block is fine, all the bearings still look new;) pistons are unhurt. yeah, i'm pissed but at this point in the yr. i could care less other than the $$$$. i was plannin on yanking it all back out next month anyways, sell my ole blower set-up, buy a new 8-71, step up the cam and springs;)
