2.6 Magna engine block cracked.

Hi all,over the last few months i have built up a 2.6 early Magna engine to fit into my L-200 ute.Naturally i had to change front timeing cover,intake manifold and other parts needed to fit RWD ,no problem there and fitted the engine about a week ago.All went great for the first couple of days ,lots more power,torque etc,then things started to go bad.Couple of the welch plugs behind the exaust manifold looked to be leaking[or so i thought].Bit later i noticed a hair line crack running between the Welch plugs and coolant seep out when the engine heats up.I.m wondering if this is common for Magna engines to crack or was i just plain unlucky with this block.I bought the engine from a wrecked car which looked to have big Ks on it.Any one else had this happen?Cheers. ![sad :(](./images/smilies/msn_sad.gif)
