cross-post from svxvanagon group ------snip----- I was tearing down my 3.3liter subaru engine earlier today, and noticed, after I pulled both heads, that there was a spider-crack around what looks to be an oil-passage bolt between cylinders 4 and 6. From my previous experience with al blocks, any cracks mean the block is kaput. I took some pictures, and would appreciate some feedback. Keep in mind, this is a pick-n-pull block, so I'm not down too much money if the suggestion is to make a coffee table. links: http://pictures.rawsuds.com/d/19967-1/crack_surrounding_area.jpg http://pictures.rawsuds.com/d/19964-1/crack_closeup.jpg thanks in advance, sudhir -----snip----- |
