some of you might have read my previous thread of my cracked block under the frost plugs on the passenger side. just looking for a way to repair that crack before i have to pull the engine and stitch it. drilled each end of the crack out to stop spread and drilled and tapped 1/8" plugs into each end. tried JB weld and superweld made by goop. both leaked. any idears please!?
oh yeha got to be very very carful to not blow your block apart you cna only weld on it for like 2 seconds at a time or the block will crack even more cast holds lots of water and will pop and crack.

that was one of my ideas i was thinkign about. hope it works. hopefully the block don't crack anymore, well it shouldnt if i got the ends drilled out. but cast does funny things when heated. have you done this yourself? or just heard of it? any one else got some ideas?
ive done this on a buddys truck 4 years ago no problems. also done it on a 454 chevy. yeah cast is very funny on my buddys truck i drianed the water out popped the freeze plugs out on that side and put a heat lamp on it over night to sort of dry it out and i brazed it and worked good just got to do a little at a time

Uhhh no I didn't. I used marine tex epoxy, but even that has now cracked and leaking again. I'm just watching a few engines right now. I'll O-ring, stud, and valve spring it, then swap it into my truck. I'm thinking I'll take my cracked engine to the best welder I know and let him work his magic on it. Maybe P-pump it and drop it in a chevy.
