Hi Bob,

at the moment I just see a hole in the area of #5 and #6 cylinder, down on
the oil pan.
The block sides seem to be okay from what I see.
No idea what has happened to the internals.
No water loss, so the water jacket seems to be okay I hope.

See two little videos from Salzburgring, not very exciting ones but the last
ones for the next time.

Sorry to hear that Chris. Are blocks readily available in Europe? I have a
block with only Pistons and rods on it. Never tried to take them out. Yours
if you need it, just have to ship it from Texas.
