Corrosion Near Liner Seats-Please Look

[Sinbad 16]

Been cleaning my engine up ready for the rebuild and noticed some corrosion near the liner seats-the chamfered seat itseal is fine,its just the block near it has corroded as seen below.....

Is this now no good???

 

 

 

Any help/advice is always appreciated.

Some very fine sand paper and some de greaser, its very hard to tell even from photos, but they look to be in O.K. condition. Have a look in tom fentons 1.6 turbo build thread as i am sure he showed a few pics of his 1.6 bottom end when he did the liner seals.

The corrosion is the triangle piece in the 2nd pic,and in front of the seat in the 1st,the seats themselves are fine and will emery up.

Just wondered if this is a dead block..?

Clean it up first then see what it looks like.

That should be fine cleaned up, I would be worried about the corrosion on the block side, the blocks are very thin and crack with ease as the load of the headbolts pull's it up

Thanks very much,just the small matter of removing a snapped headbolt containing a snapped easy-out now!! oh the joys of ownership!

Check for cracks on the block, normally go between the bottom of the headbolt threads.

Easyouts...do they ever work?! Either nothing moves or the easyout breaks.
