Hey Gang,
I have a chance to buy a used 2F. I really only want/need the block for a project. The current owner says that he got the motor as a spare with a bunch of parts. The original owner told him that the motor had water (not antifreeze) in the radiator, and that the water froze...
The current owner says that the motor is not seized (can turn the crank by hand). The freeze plugs are still in place. He says that the dipstick shows about 1qt over full and does show some signs of water in the oil. It has been sitting for some time...
Given the description should I be concerned that the block is cracked or damaged?
Trying to figure out how much of a gamble I would be making hoping that the block is still good.
Thanks
