we have a shop here that specalise in repairing cracks in cyinderheads (tractor- semis desiel) last time I heard they would not touch a flathead-- best to find a good block here in Iowa you can find them-- I have 3 that have been hot tanked + magged good

i am taking several pans to swap meet a CR swapmeet this Sat (hawkyee downs)

on new lifters i adjust one then do each one to that length holding them in a vice with soft jaws this way you dont need to turn them as much in block for final adjustment

i have a 48 515-231-9588 Iowa

find another block--cracks are trouble down the road
