Re: Bad Block?

["andkat" <andkat@foxinternet.net>]

Depends on how deep the crack is.  Pistons can be pretty darn expensive,
especially when you get over 82.0 mm.  Probably cheaper to buy a used block.
  What the hell are you guys talking about when you say "cylinder hone"?  My
definition of a cylinder hone is a stone that is used to give the piston
bore the right finish and size.  I don't think you guys were talking about
that.  Where ya?
