1913 crack in block
I found a crack in the block at the manufacture stamp on the right side between 3 and 4 cylinder. I hear there is a repair that can be done without taking engine out/apart. But I rather have it looked at by someone who is familiar with block repair. Any suggestions would be helpfull. Also -anyone know of available blocks?

Re: 1913 crack in block
Stitch welding is a good process and can be done in the car. You drill a hole in the start of
the crack and tap it then you thread in a special insert, you keep drilling one hole next to the other overlapping each one. Its a good permanent repair. Google the process. Anther quick method you can do yourself is using J.B. Weld. You grind the crack in a V and fill it with the J.B. Weld. Sometimes this can be permanent and sometimes you will have to redo it in 5 or 10 yrs. My 2 cents..... |

Re: 1913 crack in block
The value will be much more than a cracked block.

Re: 1913 crack in block
Thank you for that information. I agree - however there4 will be someone out there down playing the value. If I choose to sell after the repair I will tell the buyer of the repair
Thanks |

Re: 1913 crack in block
This is a cold stitching job I had done by Frank Casey. The block had four cracks.
