I was just pointing out that the labor is less either way.

HondaFREAK, it's a misnomer to refer to a "cracked short block". It's just a cracked block.
i've worked at a few dealers myself and everytime we have to replace short blocks it's never come as a bare block, its always the block with all the internals sometimes with oil pan and sometimes not.
