RE: Welding a brazing both take talent.

My welder friend is certified to weld stainless, carbon, bimetal stainless/carbon, cast iron, and aluminum from 0.0625 up.

To do the braze job I would probably vat the block and then electro-clean it (drop the block in a plastic barrel, put some epson salts in, connect on side of a battery and battery charger to the engine and the other side to a piece of clean steel - - the current will clean the water deposits and rust from the block leaving just bare metal).

I had heard something about Ford's approved method was to use epoxy to fix the lower part of the block the "deep skirt section" if it was broken.

The brake isn't really close to the lifter galleries. It almost centered between the deck and the lifters. It's about 3 inchs long vertically and has spread about 1/16 with a mismatch of about 1/16 to 3/16. Can't really see behind the crack from the deck side.

Maybe I should just pore the block with hard fill (hydraulic cement) and forget the water on that side?
This thread, so far...
