Hi,
From time to time people have cracked engine blocks, and the block in question is the Continental Z-120 or Z-129 block. Maybe other Continental blocks are prone to cracking too.
Has anyone ever thought about the possibility of having new blocks made. I mean, there are aftermarket companies who cast cylinder blocks. Many of them are very expensive but most often the reason for that is that they make high performance blocks for Chevy Small blocks, or big blocks, or Fords or Dodge. In other words, racing engines. So, they are modified and such things would make them quite expensive. A stock block for a four cylinder engine and in addition a block for wet sleeves should not be as costly as a racing V8 block.
Any thoughts ?
