Is This Normal?
I am in the process of rebuilding my 930/07 aluminum engine and I notice what look like small cracks in the block. However, they seem to only be surface deep.
Is this a normal part of the casting process, or do I have a problem.

Welcome to the board!
That is not a problem I am aware of, and there may be someone with specifics on the metalurgy. Regards,
