I went back and carefully read the early posts in your "Just another overhaul" thread looking specifically for the results of the pressure test. In post #28 you were asked if a pressure test was performed, in post #29 you reported that there had been no pressure test and by post #35, 12 hours later, you had the head studs out which eliminated the possibility of a pressure test from that point forward. Now you're suggesting it passed a pressure test that failed to uncover this 10 inch crack.

So . . .was a pressure test performed prior to disassembly of the engine or not? How many PSI did it hold and for how long? That crack is precisely what the pressure test is supposed to uncover, to confirm you have a viable block before proceeding with a rebuild.
