Default Hole in the block?

Ok, so I just bought a 92 talon TSI for $150. Its complete and runs but not good. He says he thinks there is a hole in the block? So my question is.. Can a motor still run with a hole in the block? If so, what could have caused that hole?

I bought the car for parts btw.

Ive seen cars with a hole in the block still run but not for long...since they are losing/lost most of the oil.

hahaha.... Illegal is funny as shit......no man. If there is a hole on the block itself, I wouldnt even dare drive it. Who knows what else is wrong with that motor.... Goodluck... Still a good buy tho.

I just cant belive anyone would ask these questions, not to be a dick, but if you dont know the answers to these basic questions, dont buy a parts car unless it's for an interior, becuse you shouldnt be working on cars.
