just been trying to fix my water leak but the problem appears to be worse than i thought.
I looked above the water pump and there is a split where the water is coming from. Have a look at the photo and let me know what you think. Thanks

Yeah she's definitely a weeper lol can't understand how I've cracked it though!
Re: Possible Cracked Rev 1 Block?
Just the luck of the draw kid... std engines have been known to crack before...
earlier rev1& 2 blocks supposed to be stronger between cylinder walls...(although i think it a bit of a myth really)..more of them seem to crack around the water pump area....
Rev 5 is generally stronger between cylinder walls(although having it x-rayed is best to check if going for big power..) and is also revised around the water pump area for this very problem...
failing that a 5sfe block is far stronger and will cope with pretty much anything you throw at it....(but also the most expensive option)
Some serioud decisions to made by yourself now....

Definitely a breaker which is so hard to say considering everything its been through but i need to claw back as much money as possible. To sell her in this state probably commands £1000 - £1500 at a mighty push which really isn't enough.
