Cracked Block on 39- F20

SDE · Oct 17, 2011

I have purchased my Grandfather's F-20. My Uncle died before he could finish the restoration. The block was sitting cross-wise on the frame rails. It had the crank installed but not any sleeves. When I got it home I noticed a crack between the #1 and #2 cyclinders. It had to have happen during the trip home. How will that have to be repaired?

As long as its only cracked at the top and not at the bottom, no problem.

Anyway to get a better picture? The only thing I see in this picture is a casting seam. If the crack is only at the top, I agree, no repair necessary. Just spray with copper gasket seal when putting the head gasket on.

Please post a clearer picture if you can.

I agree the photo is very poor. The crack goes down at least half way down, from the top of the deck to the bottom edge.

I will take another picture and repost tonight
Thank you
Steve
