[Fot] cracked block

[Brian Schirano]

Hey Amichi
Figured as I need to keep busy I'd start stripping a motor to prep as back
up race motor build this winter. And as I'm razer blading the block surface
so I could take decking measurements I see a crack in the water jacket
through the RR head stud hole out to the block exterior. (SOB!!! link to
pics <https://photos.app.goo.gl/4ArkTSrR3q7Zep2YA>) I've heard of blocks
being welded and have some recollection that this stud is a weak spot?
Don't know anything about the motor/block, was donated to me, it did have
antifreeze in it when I started working on it, so? Interesting how it
travels from the jacket through the stud hole and continues out to the
exterior. Does not appear to run deep, maybe an inch or so.

Anywise, looking for comments. I'll be talking to my machinist as well and
depending on comments and his thoughts will have it cleaned and thoroughly
inspected and magged.

Lastly, damper dudes or damper doc, or *?* for damper rebuilds?

Thanks Friends
Be Careful out there
Brian
