Blocks are the same just have to move the dipstick to rear hole , it's already there but plugged with a bearing . Possible thought for damage to old block maybe gudgeon pin has slid across .

Like BLKEBXR8 said, its the gudgeon pin. Its reasonably common.

what can be done to stop this from happening again

dicast

its the round pin that holds the piston to the conrod

rod

if the rest of the block is fine & all the pistons are good ask a machine shop about re-sleaveing the damaged bore

rod ive thought about that and since im building this motor to have a bit of grunt i wasnt sure if sleeving was good or not.plus 250 xflow blocks are cheap enough to come by
