if yo uare talking about a crack in the top of the block, under the cylinder head, between the pistons, that is not important. most are cracked in this area. the liner should stick up a few thousands and will seal on the head gasket. The crack is not important. Why was this the cause of the initial failure of the motor? or is the crack external?
