601 block crack????

JLeus · Dec 8, 2012

bought a 641 that had set for a couple of years, ran when parked, all according to the seller. Its a winter project and have started tearing it down to see what I have, if nothing else a good cleaning and fresh gaskets are in order. When I pulled the radiater all I found was water, no hint of antifreeze, color or odor. I ran into this on a N where it froze and cracked the block in that place that it always seems to crack down low on the left side, or at least was the most common spot found in forum readings. All that for this question. If my 601 block is cracked where might I find said crack(s)?? Freeze plugs are in place and the block appears to be full of water. Thanks for any insight.

Pressurize cooling system with the engine cold and look for leaks.
