Napa charged 100.00 to cook a block in the furnace and magaflux it.
I bought one from a guy that had that done for 400.00.
Most of the cracks are easy to find if you know where to look.
There were three different blocks used in the US over their eleven year life and the 60 plus the Canadian and French military.
I know it was hardly worth beating stuck pistons out and cutting the stainless steel valves out and punching valve guides just to find another crack.
