Awfully sorry, but I am unable to provide a photo, so I have to try to explain! With the engine block stripped bare and upended, there is a hole in the internal casting beneath #4 cylinder. It’s about 4cm long by 1cm wide and runs parallel to the internal main oil gallery. None of the other 3 cylinders have this. Is this normal or have I a damaged engine block? Many thanks, in anticipation.

Ken - you know me - I’m no engine man. But does it look machined (Smooth slot) or a bit jagged (rough edges - a Crack)? I’m holding my breath!
Jagged and rough edges I’m afraid!
Guess we both expect bad news then, sorry. Head banging time?
I seem to remember someone asking the same question some time ago. I think that the general consensus was its normal.
Phew, that’s a relief! Thanks Robbie.
That’s assuming it’s the same thing and my memory serves me correctly. You may what to have a bit of a search.
Yes that is perfectly normal.I have sent you pic by email
Photos attached here now
Yes! That’s the one. Many thanks Rob :o)))
