That looks like water damage. In the variety of frozen style :(

Spare parts are always nice to have mate :)

Cars and camera did one with a flathead, yours looks better though. Nice job :)

It's not bad enough to scrap the block. As for the cool bore. I just assumed it would be iron cause of the one inch shaft. The scratches in the cylinder are top to bottom not sideways so I'm not super concerned about it but it is an unknown seen issue. Anybody here have any used performance...

I pulled then engine down last night, The bore is scored . It's also not a sleeved bore either, I'm going to hone it till it smooths out a bit and see what happens. Not to happy about the findings though :(

Yeah I'm glad I remembered it , I was going to go buy a predator , Now I can put that money into making this one a little bit more peppy :) Need a little advice on rods, I read a raptor 3 rod will fit into the engine and that it would handle 7k rpm reliably , I can also get one for cheap when...

Thanks Everybody :) I'm waiting on the welder to get here , then the fun of it all begins, I want to cut my teeth with just a simple standard go kart , and once that is done I have visions of a kandi 150 buggy with some sort of street bike engine fabbed up to it, This is down the road of course...
