I'm no fan of JB weld that stuff never worked for me.

Do it right have it pinned and welded up. A good machine shop can help you.

I know of a Model A engine rebuilder that did the JB weld magic on an acquaintance's motor. Twice. Two different motors.

He had taken his GOOD block to be rebuilt, and the guy gave him a POS engine in return, his good engine was sent off to somebody else probably the guy's buddy. The motors he got back were cracked just like this one. He was furious wanted his original motor back and it was 'alledgedly' long-gone.

Makes Terry Burtz' project look better all the time, the newly mfg. blocks. Ours are pushing a hundred years old.
