cracked neon block - Moparchat

thetoolman · #1 08-13-2000, 04:31 AM

I have a sohc 95 neon with cracks in the
waterjacket webs that hold the cylinders
in place.Is this a big problem?Common?
Should I replace the block now?Will
the engine self destruct?Only has 90,000kms
Need help soon.I have the head off.
Any responses into this would be help!

Never heard of that happening to a Neon Block.
You better replace it.
Ask the same question at Neons.org, see if they have ever heard of that.
Did it get way overheated?

I too have never seen this prob, and I've seen a ton of them overheat. They don't seem to have the cooling capacity to withstand 120 temps.
