Re: Big block problems (Chevelle)

No evidence of rocker hitting the locker. The rockers are engine pro brand no marking on the locker . On closer inspection the metal where it cracked has a crystalline look to it. If I saw it in fracture of one my knives I would say that the temper was taken out when final shaping was done which is why I always dip the blade in water after every pass on the belt grinder so it doesn’t overheat . Couldn’t get a picture of the crystalline feature. Also the shank is only .547 according to my state of the art harbor freight calipers
