Interesting discovery inside 318

It's very very small. It's more discoloration in the photos than anything.

We're pretty much just looking at using this engine for a couple years to get it running and driving. Than building a stock magnum 360 with a mild hydraulic roller.

We don't want to sink to much into the 318 for that reason.

Why not just buy a running 5.9 and drop her in as is or even do a ring and bearing job on that ?

That the same as the 300hp create engine and add a cam and you got the 380hp create or inbetween depending on cam.
