Looks similar to a bullet hole .. some didn’t take a pot shot at you Kiwi

Ohh nooooo! Why does the expensive stuff have to happen?
...Although I have seen amazing recoveries on aluminum block welds by the pros. Might be able to be saved if it's in a less important area!

OUCH, now i see the POV, Likely a rod let loose and started eating at the block. RIP, old block, well all look forward to seeing the new one go in.
I’m waiting to see what location on the engine … I tried to find by looking at pics d the block and can’t find it … I’m wondering if it may be around the timing cover ..
Let’s wait for @Kiwi SRT10 before the block is toast .. hoping for the best ..
Just incase you stat shopping … this shit ain’t cheap damn ..

plus shipping to NZ could be outrageous!!
Allready taking into consideration.. along with a required rebuildable core .. all outrageous pricing I’m sure .. sent an email to them to find out to specifics on those items ..

Still though, for me it would be easily over 10k where i'm from. But then again 10k is actually not bad for a completely rebuilt full long block. That way it could sit for a season and you could then accumulate a number of internal parts that will turn it into a beast.

Well,
Just in case the thought might cross your mind, here in the U.S. we sell Flex Tape.
For $4.99 its worth a shot. ~lol
.... but truly, I feel bad for you, especially since you're out of the country. Its hard
enough to find parts here.
