[QUOTE="Rooster1971, post: 1985321, member: 19292"] I'm curios also where the crack is. If I was a betting man, I'd venture to guess it's in one of the middle cylinders between the valve seat and cylinder. Really common on one that has been overbored. The middle cylinder's share a common exhaust port and the heat leads to cracking if I remember right from my grandpa. You could maybe pin and stich after removing valve seat and then install oversize seat and machining down and new cylinder sleeve. If it's been overbored too much, may have problems down the road if you didn't sleeve the other cylinders. Ii wish I could contact my grandpa. He would know. He was a machinist and engine builder and could build a flatty. I lost the number to the graveyard though. I miss him and his knowledge more and more everyday. [/QUOTE]
