Default Re: Cracked Block

Werner. First of all I would confirm this is where you’re leak is actually coming from . Best accomplished with a pressure test which means disassembly. Are you sure the leak isn’t a head gasket failure? Which is showing up in the oil and valve chamber ?

The cost and time to fix that block probably isn’t worth it in my opinion.
I would entertain a rebuilt short block which is least expensive route.
Guys have spent a lot of money fixing cracks and stitching and then still have a block that may be leaking or having issues and is always a problem can be.

Just my advise... I know your across the pond so not sure your availability there .
All the best
