Notice the crack inbetween cylinders one and two ?



Why and how could have this happened ? It's not a big power car. I had the short motor assembled by my engine builder 6000kms ago.

I beleive the previous owner had new liners fitted by reputable engineering company not long before he sold it to me as well..

I guess i am looking for another block ?
No matter how good I have been this year I don't think santa is going to put a new block under the tree for me!

Thanks,
Damion.

have you cleaned that piston ? it looks too clean one is black and one is fairly clean. id say defo been water getting in there somehow.
