Cracked Block in M??

Posted by Lee on November 19, 2002 at 07:53:04 from (170.215.41.146):

I have an M that the cam shaft timing gear let
go in. That punched a hole in the timing cover
and also destroied the idler gear. I have a
new cam shaft gear and timing cover and was
all set to swap out the parts. When I opened
the drain plug to drain the oil, about 2 gallons
of pure (not frothy) anti-freeze poured out first.
I had bead blasted the head previously to
inspect for damage, etc, so I don't think it's
cracked. The head gasket looked fine. Is
there anything else that could be wrong
besides a crack in the block? The oil pan is
off, so I will plug the ports and fill the block
with anti freeze and look for drips, but so far, I
can't see any cracks or anything.

If it is the block, does anyone know of
someone near Southern Minnesota that has a
block for sale? I can come and get it.

Thanks for the help!
