Re: Epoxy over a crack
dvan, anything can be welded by an accomplished welder. The questions are do you have access to such a person and what's the cost. It might be cheaper to replace the item. Good luck.
In order to Weld the Crack in the Lifter Valley,.......
You'd need to Pull the Engine,+ Strip it to a
Bare Block Casting,....
Then after you Tried to weld it, Which Won't Work due to the Thickness of that area, or actually the Lack of thickness,.....
You'd Still have a Cam that's No Doubt running Untrue,+ Out of Place by Several thousandths , due to the movement,+ stresses In the block,....
Then you'd have a 'ell of a time getting all the Slag, Grindings,+ general Crud out of the casting,....
After That, You could Reassemble Everything back
into the Block....... After which, you'll be mounting the rest of the accessories to the motor,+ installing it........
After All that dickin' around,....... Odds Are,......... It'll Still Leak........
Btw, Tie 1 On,........ Who Welded Your Broken Ford Block last year,..??..??.....
