If I were the OP I would be yanking that engine and contacting Jebby with a $600 check in hand, and finding the quickest transporter in the west to get it there. He may have just saved you a lot of money with his input. Heed the man who has had the most "seat time".

It seems the OP has a valid problem that is being addressed throughout this mess of a thread. I am trying to keep the thread open for the OP's benefit, without giving anyone a vacation.
PLease understand that continued bickering, online hostility, open criticism of the moderators and the rest of the junk that has been going on here is not helping anyone.
If anyone is under the impression only "obscenity" results in deletions, edit and worse, vacations, please review the link below.

Jebby, Your experience with World crate engines and saying that they were all blems got me to thinking. I have seen several aftermarket blocks for sale at discount prices on E-bay that are blems. Many of them have porosities. I am reluctant to buy one of them because I figure what is there that I can't see? If this engine turns out not to have significant leakdown issues- (has that been done yet?) then I would not be surprised to find that to be the case.

A blem could be anything...this is what they are not telling you...it could be deck porosity....a knick or chunk broke off somewhere....
I have actually bought them from Dart too....they are just not cosmetically perfect....
But in all these years I have only seen one with bore porosity...and Bill and Bill Jr. (my old boss) wouldn't risk it.....but you never know.
The bore is the easiest place for the molten metal to pore...so you
just don't see it....it fills there well.
If Dart had a porous block...they would bore it to the next "sellable" size.
Worlds boring bar rarely got used....(it was a Rottler bore/deck combo)
The only time we used the boring bar was to build 632's

Nice offer, BUT it looks like a business to me.
Become a supporting vendor. Or place your offers in another part of the Forum.

To the OP, I agree, yer engine is crap, you should purchase a new one and send the old one to me.
