The original engine for #18 was out of the car when I bought it - had a crack at the head mating surface and a hairline casting defect/porous area on an oil galley. Took a very, very skilled engine builder and a great welder to fix. Was not cheap. And this was a block in great shape, not blown or damaged, just normal casting issues and factory defects.

Happy to say that it is fixed right and in the car, where ever it may be today.
