We speculated (engine builder and I) that my block was stored with the right front being lowest, and it was eaten out from inside rust. Besides the hidden leaks, it also leaked through numerous holes that put water into the timing gear area. The block material looked quite thin, where we could see. And, the decision was, even if we could fix the holes (at least the visible ones), we couldn't trust the block because it looked so thin in that area. (This was on a 59A block) |
