It'll work out, and trust that I have already thought about going to court over this. He is good, just super slow.

Cool seeing your truck on the Mar-K website.
It was a hairline crack just above the timing chain cover. I don't think he magnafluxed the block as he said, then again it is in an odd place. As for welding it is up to him. He told me that it isn't very hard, just heat it to above 1200degrees and weld it, so that is all the specs he gave me.
I was happy to see my "unfinished" truck on a website, thought that was pretty cool too!
