    I don't see anything wrong with them that he did not declare in his description. Jerry

      Thanks Jerry,I see that they have been worked on for possibly a stroker and I noticed the the top end drain holes are coming into the skirt of the cylinder bore...what are your thoughts there...overbore???

        I do not see any work on them that would scare me. Lucklily they haven't been modified for big bore cylinders - that usually takes out the right case. Jerry

              Congratulations - hope we did not steer you wrong but I think they will work out great.

                I got my cases...all in all they are as was represented,I believe they have been setting for quite some time.I found a few things that weren't readily apparent at a glance.I pressed the cam bearing out and found a crack at 6 o'clock and another at the center bolt between the cylinders,minor but still a crack,and...a few teeth from a pump gear, I think, in the bottom of the galley in the muck that had accumulated... I think they are pretty solid. I have to fit a pinion race and do some minor welding and cleanup,I think they will work fine...

                  Cracks are typically longer than they appear.
