I have a Continental F245 straight 6 motor. It came in with a blow head gasket. I tore the top end down and in the process of grinding the valve seats I discovered that there is a crack between one of the intake valve seats and the cylinder bore. Apparently this is a common problem with these motor.
So my question is, how similar is this motor to the F227? I think the block is the same, just the bore is smaller. I'm hoping I can find an F227 long block and swap everything from my motor over.
Can anyone confirm if the intake, front cover, etc are the same between the two motors?
