question...."cracked block"
ok...i just bought a short block and when it got here i noticed that that along where the starter bolts up there is a 3 inch crack that starts next to the top ear where the starter bolt goes and down towards the flywheel....the guy i bought it from says it was not that way when he sent it (but of course) he says he had a starter bolted up to it when i was shipped out, but no starter was there when it arrived......the crack has rust in it...the motor was in transit for 2-3 days...my question is: "how long does it take for cast iron to rust in general?"

Very light surface rust could form in 2 or 3 day's if it is really wet.
If the rust is very heavy at all, sounds like he is trying to pull the wool over your eyes..
