Re: cracked block diagnosis

Usually the first sign if you do have a cracked block is:
You keep having to add coolant to radiator.

Hope your blocks ok.

Re: cracked block diagnosis

Depends. Is the engine in or out of the car?

Are you planning on rebuiling it and want to know if it's got a crack before assembling?

Are you having some symptoms that may indicate you've got a cracked block?
