Hello All
After 10 years of putting up with a cracked block I have started looking for a Donor engine as a replacement . of the 3 Vit 16 B engines I have looked at 3 have had cracks in the same place , 4 baleno engines I have looked at have cracks in other places as well as the usual places . So I during the search I have noticed You can get 16 B engine blocks from China . Has anybody gone this route yet if so is it worth it ?
what other options are out there for a replacement .
Ta Daz

if japan couldn't cast a block that didn't crack, you reckon a chinese copy wouldn't?

Didn't Sideways have a look at one of these Chinese blocks - and figured it was cast out of concrete?

Fill the block up with concrete and run a bigger rad and oil cooler
