Re: Cracked block
I have the same crack in the block in my 51 F1. Had it stitched, the bore sleeved, and a hardened seat installed at the valve. Shop pressure tested it before going any further and it was fine. Runs great.
I had Northeast Machine, Two Mile Creek Road, Tonawanda, NY do the repair and my rebuild. Extremely happy with their work. That is not a junk block, if that crack is all that's wrong with it.
