Umm Is that HOLE Supposed to be There? cliffs: yep
Just got my block back from the machine shop yesterday, painting it today before starting assembly, and I found this. Passenger side, low and at the front of the block. I don't know but it looks like a coolant passageway. Not supposed to be there unless I miss my guess.
Anybody seen this sort of thing? Know what causes it? Sure feels to me like the machine shop got careless with my block but I don't want to go in there swinging if there's another likely possibility. Is it repairable?
By the way it's the first time anybody but me has ever laid a finger on my engine. Figures.
Right in the middle of the shot
That hole, while annoying, leads out into the bellhousing area. It does not compromise the integrity of the coolant / oil jackets, nor the interior of the crankcase.
