rebuilding block

[dan2288]

I have a spare 7 bolt block that I want to build. I just dont know If I should use this block again. I was told it had crankwalk and it was rebuilt with a reman crank and new bearings and replaced a bad rod. Then after 200 miles of it being fixed, same thing happened. Should I take the chance? What things will tell me the block is bad when I inspect it?

Sounds like they reused the old oil squirters. Thats the best guess I can give.

You most likely wont be able to visually spot the issue you're having with your block, you'll machinist tools like micrometers, magnaflux to spot an unusable block. My suggestion is to have your engine rebuilder thuroughly inspect the block for defects then give you his evaluation. Also consider using these if you're still concerned:
