yesterday i went to get my block from chucks engine exchange in westland its a 350 sbc i got it bored 40 over and stroked to a 383 actualy a 385 but w/e, and i noticed at the bottom of the cylinder wall was cracked about a half an inch or a little smaller and i dont no if i should run it or not because i have a 6 inch rod 12.5:1 keith black hyperconetic pistons and im woried it will scratch or scar the piston skirt i wouldnt be woried with a 5.7 rod and stock stroke because i no it wouldnt go down that far but with the 383and 6 inch rod im not sure.I plan on takeing it to about 7200 rpms so if it doesnt scratch the piston skirt im worried at that high of a rpm and with 12.5:1 that cylinder will crack.
the messed up thing is i originally gave them a block that had nothing wrong with it wut so ever and i got it back it was fine till i was putting it together and discovered my rod bolt didnt clear because he didnt clearence it enough or right for that matter so i took it back and he was gunna do it for free then the idiot went thru to the waterjacket because he hogged it out so much the oilpan bolt was gone so then he said the blocks junk u have to pay for a new one $200 lol i was gunna hit the guy in the i thought he was kidding but he wasnt so i took my dad and as u guys no him DRACO my cousin up there and the guy said he would replace it all and do all the block work free of charge then i get this shit back so idk wut do u all think??????????????????????????????
