I ran this block last year, no issues, rebuilt it again, went at least 40 miles with no water in the oil.

That sucks so bad man! What are you gonna do now?

What do you think caused it to **** the bed all of a sudden?? Just pushin it bit much this time or...?

Dude, ever since you switched your sig "crackin blocks" looks like you were cursed.

I know there is no scientific evidence for what I'm about to say, but some times things can be broken and hold together and then the second you try to repair/disturb something it decides to break. Kinda like the saying, 'don't fix it if it aint broke' type thing. Not saying that's the case in your situation, its just weird is all....

Looks good manchacho. Keep it up.

And I wasn't trying to imply you had anything to do with the engine crack, I was just tryin to shine a different light on it, that's all.

Keep takin some pics, this is good knowledge.
