No worries. That'll buff right out. J-B Weld if it doesn't.
Which # and side was that? Can't tell from the pics.
Ouch! Now THAT'S a crack!

That's just depressing as hell.
Understood.
If you're doing it right, the best bubble gum is J-B Weld. Just don't leave it on the bedpost overnight (loses its flavor).
That is exactly the same thing that happened to the engine in my old Dahooooley
Looks to be the same location too.
Large oil squirt holes and very sharp edges on everything.....A recipe for CRACKS.....
So sorry to hear of this debacle......
If it were me I would try to find an early 599 block (These are non squirt blocks)
Actually with the poor luck you are having.....Have you considered one of the knock off's
We have a couple of those still running around here....after several years...no issues.
STAY AWAY FROM THE LATE 506 GM BLOCKS 1998-99-2000
These had problems cracking the #8 cylinder at the top.
The AMG BLOCKS are good.....
The AMG blocks have a different Date code layout in the casting......
