would I love to see the esn# on the blocks and see how close the numbers are and from what year. one could make a case study on that.
I have not seen a cracked block yet either. well not unless you cound a few with rods hanging out the side.
Vlonly brings up an interresting point. I have seen more then a few rockerbox gaskets leaks. odd thing here is the really bad one have all had oil cooler issues as well as pumping coolant. so there is an issue with excessive movement as well.
Anyone ever look into rms patterns in machine work? now there is some neet stuff.
there is logic to the thought, I wont fight that at all. I can see it as a possibel out come.
I have heard of a few issues were a stud has broken off. have not seen that either.
IMO its your truck,its your dime. I spent mine and got a set.
