I miss his sense of humor :-/ Scott (B.) -----Original Message----- From: Fot <fot-bounces@autox.team.net> On Behalf Of Tony Drews Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2026 3:23 PM To: Brian Ray <brianray@sonic.net>; FOT@autox.team.net Subject: Re: [Fot] TR4 block. My recollection (I can't find it in writing) that this crack is common and not a big deal. Don't try to repair it. For reference, here's a page on engine building tips largely from my Dad. For racing we strap the center main, not sure it's needed for road use. https://tonydrews.com/uncle_jacks_engine_building_tips.htm Regards, Tony Drews On 5/27/2026 2:54 PM, Brian Ray wrote: > Good afternoon, FOT, > I have this crack in the bridge between cylinders 2 and 3.
