Yeah, well the core is around 3k and I do everything myself. I got the quote up in Goshen Indiana.

 

What is this cracked block thing, I am pulling mine tomorrow evening.

 

Give us some details. Year, miles, location of crack....

Number 1 piston rotated 80 degrees right, connecting rod not connecting, both push rods look like an S and not pushing anything, crack from number 1 piston to the water passage in the top front of the head/block.

86 6.9 turbo

 

Mine just developed a tiny little crack from the right rear freeze plug hole. No problem other than it kept leaking coolant. No physical damage or cause that I can detect.....friggin motor was perfect except for the crack.

Casting defect or structural anomoly is all I can figure.....a fluke.
