Default Bottom end is fine!

Thanks for the input. A picture does tell the story. I agree v8 that the head would have gone anyway. I only drove the car about 60 miles when I purchased it and there was no coolant leak or loss so the crack hadn't gone all the way through just yet.

The good news is that the bottom end is solid. The pistons all protrude the same and the cylinder walls still have some crosshatching on them. No major ridges in any of the cylinders and only slight vertical marks in cylinder #6.

So now my search for a complete head continues.

Anders if you're looking at this I may still want the cam. I'm looking at an N/A head that needs the cam. I'll PM you once I have a little more data.
