c41250n: Charles R Hill is the guy you want to talk to.
you could use a vendor to crate up an engine and then you send him yours but CRH's rebuilds are very damn good and usually the more cost effective route.

what went wrong?
compression figures? symptoms?

when you see it all apart it is very apparent why it cracks there

*stress raiser step in dia. inside the hole + force from the dowel right at that point + very thin casting at that point + lots of torque = CRACK

you should see how we fixed it last time - put it this way - I still have the crack but not the oil leak ......
