Let's look for answers in this section.

indent or do you mean a gash of some sort???

 

[Damion]

it may be a gash its in cyl 8 and 1 as far as i see not that deep tho if u rub your finger in the cyl wall u can feel it kinda dips in i didnt rotate the motor yet i was just trying to clean it up a bit

 

[Masshole]

it seems either way you will be needing some bore work, but need to find out the problem causing the gash first....how do pistons and rings look?

 

[nadrepadre]

I'd bore and hone the block, new hyperutectic pistons and rings and a good set of heads. That should fix your problem. I doubt its within your budget though...

Its really bad to run a motor with a score like that in one of the cylinders. Just asking for trouble.

well looks like aim on the hunt for a new block thanks for the info guys
