    Are you sure it's a crack? How did you determine this? What else have you looked at problem wise? Are you running OT headers with water injection? Logs? Big cam? What is your water pressure in your block under power? Kind of sounds like you're grasping at straws if you're looking for a block and heads. Water in the oil can come from a few sources with a jet boat. Give us some more details.

    i pressured up the block and heads with water and nitrogen to find the leak. Ihave had a lot of problems with this motor. last summer a valve stuck and i lost 1 piston. i had a 800 hundred lift cam in at the time. i now have a 650 lift, and just had the head repaired from stuck valve and piston collision , head was supposed to have been magnafluxed

    I had the same problem a few years back. Turned out the water was seaping in through one of the head bolts. Did you use permatex #2 on the head bolt threads. A stock BBC doesn't have blind taps in the block.
