Just got the block all steamed cleaned and the first thing that caught my eye was 3 cracks.They go all the way thru the webs at the top of the bores between 1&2,2&3,and 3&4 cylinders.I know some cracking is normal in these engines but this has me worried!! I mean the only thing that is holding the block together is at each end on the top nothing in the middle. I'm starting to think a Gleaner E or D17 motor is a better bet. Ideas and opinions please.

I am no expert, but a good ol boy who worked for AC for years told me EVERY WC is cracked. He also said they always fixed the crack with a small chunk of copper wire laid on the crack. He died a few years ago, but he did alot of AC's---so for what its worth--- Dave NE Iowa

The head bolts will hold it from spreading, but if you are worried you can use a tie bolt.

This was a fix for a block that was spread apart at the cracks. Normal hairline cracks need no more that a new gasket to keep them from leaking water. Those cracks have nothing to do with compression or vacuum. Thanks for leaving a comment.

You could also go with a WD block/engine
