I have 0 psi in cyl#5, 60psi in cyl#6 The remaining 4 cyls. are maxing out at 80psi. I'm in search of a re-manufactured short block. Anyone have a recommendation on who to contact? I have done a search on the web and found a few, but would like to find someone a bit closer than NW Florida. Thanks in advance, Norm Edited by RevengeFamily on 07/13/09 - 3:58 PM

One year warrantee. I think you have to have a participating dealer. That's all I know. Let us know if you check it out in detail.
