Re: Cast Iron Block Welding - 427FE
If the cracks are just hairlines and theres no heaving or chunking, I have a hard time believing its cracked into the cam tunnel. Its possible, but you'd think if it was cracked bad enough to get in the cam tunnel there'd be alot more visible damage. How far is the cam tunnel away from any water jackets anyway? Do you know what type of magnetic particle inspection they used? The shop I am from has 1 system for doing blocks, and another system for heads and cranks. Magnufluxing a block is not cut and dry and certainly leaves an inexperienced user room for error.
