Where is the dis-like button. Sorry to hear this.
sure acts like a cracked cylinder, wont know till I have it apart. this block has 2 sleeves already. its 6 years old.
I stick to 360 blocks and they are so cheap around here I don’t even bother sleeving blocks. Throw them on the scrap pile and grab another one.
BUt you've already done SO MUCH MORE than most on here EVER DO. YOU DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM FIRST. Even if accidentally. Good for you!
My RB in my old car did that on #3. Pulled the heads..... nothing. Pulled the engine and stripped it down.... nothing. Honed the hole, threw it back together and raced it. Then one day it wouldn’t start. #3 again. Pulled the plug, cleared it out, raced it. Funny thing is that it wouldn’t do it all the time. Never polluted the oil... finally gave it a good dose of CRC Block Sealer. Lasted until I sold it years later.
