Cracked Block: Oil Return Drain
Folks, looking closely at the oil return drain, 4AGE 7 rib, noticed a bit of a crack. At least I think it's a crack, could just be the way they're made. If it is a crack it doesn't look like it's going to be problematic, fingers crossed!
Comments?
Cheers.

Re: Cracked Block: Oil Return Drain
Seems an odd place for a crack to form.. Maybe the metal didn't come together properly during casting? Who knows..

Re: Cracked Block: Oil Return Drain
not a crack, that's part of the casting process where the metal from either side of the mould has joined together.
Re: Cracked Block: Oil Return Drain
DNeg, BlackFox, Sam, thanks. Couldn't make my mind up whether it was a crack, and therefore a potential problem, or not. Think I'll put it down to poor QC and ignore it.
Cheers.
Re: Cracked Block: Oil Return Drain
Yeah it just looks like a casting ridge from the photos.... pretty normal id say.

Re: Cracked Block: Oil Return Drain
I checked and both of my open 20V blocks don't have this, does it go all the way through the rib?
Re: Cracked Block: Oil Return Drain
The "defect" extends for the length of the "join" in the top of the oil drain. It doesn't extend any further into the block, that's why I'm not too worried about it.
Cheers.
Re: Cracked Block: Oil Return Drain
casting flaw....
3 rib or 7 rib block?
Information is POWER... learn the facts!!
Re: Cracked Block: Oil Return Drain
I'm inclined to that opinion myself. 7 rib.Originally Posted by oldeskewltoy
