fire damage
Would like to some of your thoughts on fire damage, in particular engines and drive lines. Are there any telltale signs such as babbit still in place or not, aluminum parts melted or not that would indicate weather the cast iron has reached a temp that ruins it? Are there any tests that can performed on cast iron? Does a complete engine have a better chance than. a bare block to survive? I know that all the machined surfaces will have to be redone but I was more interested in the reaction of cast iron to high temp. As you might have figured this all is related to a fire loss in Northern California 3 fresh rebuilt long blocks and 4 crack free B blocks and cranks, Thanks for any input!
