Well the water leak I have been writing about in my previous posts has turned out to be a cracked block. It is cracked about 2 inches up and right of the top right corner of the water pump. The inner half of the timimg belt guard was blocking my view of the leak until I got it off. I pressurized the system with air and verified the leak with soap.

Can any one tell me if this is common?

What is my next move? What are my options as far as buying a new motor or short block? Any ideas as to the cost.

Thanks for any input.
