I was tearing down my 3.3liter subaru engine earlier today, and noticed, after I
pulled both heads, that there was a spider-crack around what looks to
be an oil-passage bolt between cylinders 4 and 6.

From my previous experience with al blocks, any cracks mean the block
is kaput. I took some pictures, and would appreciate some feedback.
Keep in mind, this is a pick-n-pull block, so I'm not down too much
money if the suggestion is to make a coffee table.
