While cleaning up my bolck tonight for the imminent rebuild i noticed a hairline crack.
Now i know it's quite common for these blocks to crack around the long studs but just to be sure i thought id take a few pics and see what the engine builders on here thought

The engine was running great prior to removal from the previous owners car but has been sat now for a couple of years (hence the full strip down)

Now it's pretty hard to see so i have stuck a couple of pencil arrows towards it.

What do you recon???

Oh its a small turbo Escos block.
