Engine crack locations?

[karasmer]

I will be looking at a bunch of T motors shortly, where are the best spots to look for block cracks, common areas? Thanks

You say motors. I'm assuming they have cyl. heads on them. If so it severly limits what you can find. My experience is limited but it seems that they let go in the valve area. What's been posted lately are cracks from the valve seat to a bolt hole. Bring a scraper and a wire brush and check around these areas if possible. That's all I've got.

Be aware that the cracks are there and if you're buy them realize that they are cracked with that assumption. All of these cracks have been repaired. Just have to identify them through magnafluxing and pressure testing as often times the head bolt holes have been drilled through or porous.
