Engine gurus inside......
ok guys I think I found yet MORE bad news about my vette. I was in my garage smoking and I was just looking over my motor on the stand and I turned it over to take a good look at the mains and I think I found cracks at the bottom of most of the cylinders. :mad :mad :mad :mad :mad
Anyway here is a picture I just took of it, let me know what you guys think. If it is cracked then I have purchased a vette that has......
1. motor with supposedly 500 miles (yeah right) that had all the top piston rings cracked and now possible cracks in the block.
and
2. bent frame :mad
Why do I have the sudden feeling I got SCREWED on this deal???:mad

Doesn't look good does it?
I would take it and have it checked but it doesn't look good.
I have an '80 L-48 block if you need one and a set of L-82 heads cheap. JIM
