Default Re: 59 block questions

Still need to get the valve out to get a look see how deep the visible crack is into the ex cup. A few days of rain ahead so i will get it onto a stand and finish disassembly so it can be cleaned up and i can mag test the top side first.
It this area solid cast?
Any thoughts on the best pin to use?

The water jacket is behind the cylinder where the crack is. Depending how deep and long the crack is, hopefully it can be pinned and then the cylinder will need to be sleeved.
