i got an issue here. the mains on the block and caps have some wear on it from breaking a crankshaft. some are okay and some are pretty deep.











i sent my block out to laskey and they said that it's going to cost around $600-$700 plus new main caps because they well to make new tangs for the align hone. the crank is going to move up .015-.020 so i will have to get a thicker headgasket and file the dowel pins on the oil pump main seal. they said if i provide a new block, they can sleeve it for $900.
i was wondering if there's shop out there that can weld some material on the damage then align hone it. what do you guys think is my best option now?

 

New block time if only for piece of mind sake. Also, how did you break the crank?

 

i have no idea how i broke it. it was knocking then i dropped the oil pan and there it was. must have been a bad installation by local machine shop.

 

that sux

 

dont waste your money on that block. just get another one and start over.
