Is this block usable

[dylan5299]

I was given this block by a friend if I just took it off his hands for him. It's the casting number I want but there is a chip in it. Is this salvageable or am I taking this to the scrap yard?

Zoom out some... can not tell where on the block you are trying to show us...

Looks like a goner to me, you can see where the wear from piston travel is.

0.30 over, chamfer the nick with a rattail file and run it!

Some of the best running engines I've fixed are the ones I just slap together. ive pieced together way worse than that in my brothers boat and it runs perfect...

As long as it clears the rings I agree with 30 over, chamfer and file it.

That's interesting, I have a block that has that same chip in the same spot. I'll snap a pic tonight. Mine is way through a rebuild.

The rings don't drop down that far.

I'd pay to have it checked out by a good trustworthy machinist.
