k24a4 block cracked?

[Sinub]

Bought an engine from a guy who was moving, my friend got a free engine that had major leaks and problems needing fixing, I got the k24 for $50 wit intake manifolds and exhaust headers, throttle body, fuel injectors and everything, only problem he said is a blown head gasket. I noticed this on the block and Ive never actually seen an engine from this view, so im not sure if its normal or their cracks that were filled

If anyone has a k20a2 head and oil pump or know someone let me know!

ridiculous deal

 

[Sinub]

Told you theirs rare deals just gotta look and wait

hopefully you don't need the deck machined & a new head gasket resolves the issue. cheap fix

taking an engine rebuilding class, they have the machines to mill, bore, hone, grind cranks and cams, port and polish heads so any machining is free for me and i just need a cylinder head and oil pump for the k20a2

Does anyone know the Max bore for the k24 without sleeving it? is it 88mm or 87.5mm? Because I did the math and 88mm is a true k24 so that should be safe but some people say it isn't, is that pushing it risky if I plan to daily drive the engine and beat on it? I can't seem to find a straight answer for it. How can I find out without trying it the hard way

Update: Got the engine fully take apart!!! Going to start doing my measurements and then the machining @webby would it be okay if I can make a build thread section of this even though its kinda not 9thcivic related?

And I just want to say that I hate you for getting a K24 block for a very low price.
