BIG problem 2

[V8COOPMAN]

Nobody has mentioned this "little" CRACK, and that scoring is just plain ugly! DD

Crack? Looks like the cylinder is ready to break out...

 

[Ross F-1]

Could it be hydrolock damage?

Winner, winner. Chicken dinner.
Use another of your good engines.
After all, what are you saving them for?

Not chicken, crab cakes. G.M.

Could become a candidate for the line-up on a Seattle wharf, headed to China so they can make more quality parts for us

 

[BLACKNRED]

That is some crack in the block.

That looks bad G.M. I know you will have that '36 back on the road soon. I keep buying up engines too just for instances like this.

So GM - are these pictures from TWO different engines . . . or only one? I'm hoping only one engine gave up it's ghost. That piston sure does look like detonation killed it -- the cylinder -- appears it has had some issue for awhile.

Good luck building another engine - seeing those pictures sure sucks!

Same engine 3 and 4 on drivers side. 4 has the bad piston. G.M.
