I started stripping he 2010 gas motor on my 1010c (its a replacement). I have heard that the web between cylinder bores where the deck plate mounts is susceptable to crackings, well mine has them! . Looking at this logicly i can't see where this will ultimatly effect the engine. the actual bore is in the deck plate and the web thickness seems very thin for a crucial location. as long as the sleave bores are sound, there doesn't seem to be any way for coolant to enter . also, the seperation of oil to coolant occurs much lower in the bock. I saw no evidence of oil/ coolant or coolant/ oil contamination when draining fluids. Am i crazy to continue going forward on this project? I want a rebuild that will be machaniclaly sound and allow me to use this crawler tractor/dozer for light work around my place. Is this a necessary to repair? look for a replacement block? I have read that 99% of these motors crack in this location, so a replacement may not be easy. What do you guys think?
