Most all 6.2/6.5 owners have heard of the nasty main web cracks that are of major concern when doing a rebuild or purchasing a block.
Here's an easy way to find the ones that can't be seen at a glance.
Wash the block well to get all the oil and crud off the thing.
Wipe the main webs (center) with a rag soaked with brake clean.
Now A touch of WD 40 applied to the areas of the outer bolts on the center mains running down the web.
Allow to soak a bit then wipe all clean with the BK soaked rag again. Allow to dry.
**** Using White foundation makeup powder, dust the area that cracks are suspect in and then wait. Any cracks will show quickly as a black line in the white powder.
Another way is to use a propane torch and heat the webs up to a point that they feel hot to the touch. Any cracks will contain oil that will bubble out and show the evil little crack.
