I've found a crack!!
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.

Is it def a crack? Not a scratch. I'd take the paint of at the side of the block with strippers (not abrasive's) and see how big it actually is. Good Luck either way.

See if you can get hold of some flaw detector spray, it comes in 3 aerosol tins a solvent cleaner a dye and a revealer, we used to use it on small fab work we did at work, will show it up clearly if it is a crack or not.
