I've seen that before, and it cleaned up with a quick honing.  Depends on how deep it is pitted though.  It will just retain oil better, some call it 'seasoning".

I love the positive vibes! Kinda nervous about this.

Frustrating news! I'd like to see a picture of the crack if you can take one.

What is next? S52+2?

Or finally going to get that Cobalt SS you've always wanted?

Not sure if this is a joke or ls swap.

[DrLeadFoot]

I'm leaning LS swap with these first reactions I'm having.

Yeah that's a good idea I'll buy all the useless stuff from the old junk motor.

This is a sad day.

[Bassboy3313]

Damn! Sorry to hear

[KaiserRolls]

Sad day and sorry to hear

I should buy parts from you though

This is hopefully an early April fools joke

She gone.  Gotta pick it up from C&S and I will take pictures.  

Asking for a friend:

He wants to boost but need an aluminum block so his e30 can still be an e30 when he wants to hit the twisties.  He was thinking LS2 with lower compression pistons. What head?  Cam?  He is a noob when it comes to the bowtie lifestyle so he asked me to thank you all in advance for any advise.

I think said friend should get on here and ask those question.

Starting to get hits on a lot of items. It's all for sale. Hit me up!

I'm looking for a S4.10 or open 4.10 in good condition. Anyone want to swap to 2.79 gears and get into the ZF320 trans?

is this where I put my vote in for an LS swap? 

Let's not dwell on the past. Let's look at the bright future of a rumbling, MPG-killing V8.

[BMWben]

Amen to that! Once you go V8, you never go back. #V8Mafia
