I got a saddening phone call today from the machinist at the local parts store where I am having some work done. Chris, the machinist, tells me that he found two cracks on the block. Problem is, he has already done the boring to .030" oversize and honed the cylinders for new moly rings.
I asked him if he magnafluxed the block before doing the machining and he told me he only did the areas that typically crack or are known to be problematic?
It cracked in an odd area that he has never seen before. Am I liable to pay for the machine work,and the hot tanking he did 3 times even though he didn't find the crack before the boring? The block is pretty much just a boat anchor now.
