Is this bad!????????????????

[yellowfever]

I have a bridge port block with #1 and #2 bridges cracked. They r hard to see but rite in the middle of the bridge is cracked all the way threw. Is it ok or does it need sleeves?

I,ll leave it to the pros.But it sounds very bad to me expansion when running, especially that type engine thanks.

Send the block off to Jim Ruck.He's the one and only that id let loose with my stuff.
Here's some of his info...Best call him and go from that..

That was a common problem from day 1 with a bridgeport. I've ran mine with small/tiny cracks for some time and with the addition of small holes drilled in the piston (right in the bridge relief) for oiling it's not been a problem. I have a stack of '84-'89 BP blocks and they all have cracks or a bridge completely gone, the '90 up blocks I have are NIC bores and are still perfect on the bridges.:thumbsup:

Most Brideports either have cracked bridges or gonna have cracked bridges.. I built a pair several years ago that went on a Skater out of 12 Bridges 7 were cracked , fix was 12 steel sleeves from Ruck @ 1 920 233 3833 Motors still running GREAT.
