Or another way to ask the question is â??how much misalignment between the 
crankshaft and transmission input shaft can be tolerated?â??
I had a block completely gone through, including line boring and it ran very 
well until number one cylinder liner suddenly split. The engine hydro locked 
and broke the crank and front main bearing cap. I have a new cap; to use it 
requires the block be line bored again. Iâ??m wondering if anyone else has a 
similar experience and can tell me either that it worked out well, or that I 
should throw the block away.
Thanks as always!
