block corrosion
So this showed up on ebay. I've never seen a used block that had that much corrosion, in fact, most have virtually none. So what were they doing wrong?

Re: block corrosion
I would guess in an un-heated, un-cooled, non insulated storage in a high humidity and maybe even salt air environment.

Re: block corrosion
Most of the corrosion appears to have happened while the engine was assembled. So I doubt it was sitting in a shed or yard. Just curious as I've never seen one that corroded. The one I'm rebuilding now had 113,000 and virtually no corrosion.

Re: block corrosion
Must have laid around for some time with the iron liners still in it.
Probably would have faired better with the original aluminum liners.
