Cracked rear iron... I think

i take it you did find a cracked dowel casting?

you can replace the iron without disassembling the whole engine but unless the engine was putting out over 350whp you should look into why it failed otherwise even if it is fixed it will fail again or other parts will fail along with it. for example, if the tune or pump is bad which caused the detonation that took out the iron and you stud the engine the seals will be next to go.

i'm also looking to moving the shop down to central florida, but on the west side near clearwater/tampa. but that is about a year from now.

The cause was prolly Big turbo on stock jdm import swap. Chances are it could use a rebuild even without the crack..
