Re: sealing a crack in a 59AB
Machinist checked the side with the crack plugged with epoxy & Karls' & pressure method & it checked OK The other side has a bolt broken of in a water pump hole so that was being addressed today . Have not received the results. I'm confident that it will be fine once the bolt gets removed. Boring & sleeve to follow.
Thanks again for all the suggestions. |

Re: sealing a crack in a 59AB
A crack that extends down the cylinder wall is often the result of freezing, Examine the lower end of all bores to see if other cracks exist. There is a good chance you will find them. At our shop, we pin the usual cracks in the valve seat area, but seldom try to fix cylinder wall cracks.

Re: sealing a crack in a 59AB
As long as the deck and lower part of bore is ok a sleeve feels like an easier task then pinning ?
I rather bore 4 cylinders then drill and pin |

Re: sealing a crack in a 59AB
If you read my last post the cylinder was pressure tested after sealing the crack & this block has been magged 3 times once by me & twice by the machinist before & after the the pressure test & he wants to pressure test it again after the sleeve repair.
I agree that it must have froze @ 1 time but the PO just put block sealer in it & continued to to run it make a big mess. Thank you everyone for your suggestions. B-O-B |
