After getting the lower radiator tank repaired,we started the engine and the coolant began blowing out of the radiator as the engine warmed up. A crack is visible on the left side of cylinder #1 (external), and there must be crack(s) from the cylinders into the water jacket.
Is there any chance of finding a replacement block? The head was salvaged from another 10, checked and surfaced before installation.
Thanks,
Tom S
