never really seen a block upclose, beside inside the engine bay and i notice these cracks in n outside the block.. im wondering if these are normal
sorry for the noob question

 

I'm 90% sure thats normal. Every block I've had, has those. Just check the sleeves.

the sleeves looks good.. im still going to bore n honed the sleeves

 

I thought maybe the block was painted and those cracks were just in the paint...then you showed the inside. I would probably let a machine shop clean it and inspect it, but that is because I am ignorant in what could be a problem.

 

ttt

 

perfectly normal

 

Looks like marks left from the original casting. Just looks ugly covered in dirt and oil!

 

They're just casting flaws.

 

yeah, just go get it cleaned up when you're boring and honing it out.

 

cool, thanks... for the replys

 

sleeves look cool. you should still bore/hone it a little.
