RE: Michigan Casting Center (MCC)

By HPINXS - 06/01/2006 12:00:56 PM; IP 130.135.101.155

I bought a 428 engine that has I have a crack in the water jacket in the lifter valley. It is a "real 428" block. I'm guessing it happened when it froze. The block is not just cracked one side is lifted up a little.
I don't want to toss it if I can fix it. Would drilling the ends of the crack/break and brazing be the way to fix it?
I know a good welder that has high nickel rod that said he would try to fix it using the nickel rod, but I'm not sure that is really necessary. I think a brass patch would be just fine. I'm afraid of heating the block for nickel welding to much and having more cracks apear

This thread, so far...
