You recently had the head worked on, correct? Surely you can swap the rods/pistons, other non-oem components(oil pump?), and maybe even bearings from this block into another. Get away with just getting new rings?

Consider having the block magnafluxed and the head checked with dye penetrate. One of em has to be good and would definitely save some dough. I'd guess it's the head that's cracked. Usually it's the head when it comes to engines with Al heads and iron blocks. If neither are cracked it may just be an issue with the machine work (assuming the deck surfaces were machined).

Motor is at the machine shop and I am waiting on them to finish overboring and honing. Then I will assemble the new built motor.
I also picked up something new to try out.
