I got the block for my 59 D14 hot tanked and cleaned.  A hairline crack was found near the top between the 3rd and 4h cylinder.
 
I would like to confirm that this will not pose any problems.  If my memory serves me correct, a block that has a crack near the bottom is no good for anything (except meybe a boat anchor).
 
Thanks in advance for the feedback.

It's rare to find a block w/o those cracks, well, maybe not rare, but the cracks are pretty common and are not a problem
