Block cracks in Volvo 2002

[Bondo]

where appears a crack in the block, between two holes that are in the block.

I Agree, Information is Really Thin......<br />But, I;ll venture a Guess.........<br /><br />This motor has been Frozen, with water in it.......<br /><br />Epoxy will work for awhile,<br />But, A replacement Block is the Only Cure.........

Actually guys. The 2002 is probably not the year but the model number. It's a 2 cylinder diesel used a lot in sail boats. Have a look<br /> Volvo 2002 <br />Either way, freezing may have caused the problem and I don't expect the epoxy will hold very long. I would keep a close eye on the oil, it's possible for the crack to allow water into the oil. <br />Cracked blocks on any engine isn't good, on a diesel, it needs to have the block replaced.

Block cracks in Volvo 2002

I have in my sailship (28 feet)a Volvo 2002, where appears a crack in the block, between two holes that are in the block.<br />I sealed the crack with a epoxy glue, and that seems to work.<br />Have anybody experience with that matter?<br />Thanks.<br />Gabriel, Buenos Aires, Argentina

My engine is a two cilinder motor, about 850 cm3, 18 HP. The crack was not produced by frozen water. I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and we are in springtime.<br />Because is the outer wall of the block, there is no mix between the oil and the water.<br />Now I am running the engine with epoxy glue, without leaks.<br />I am very $$$$$sad thinking that the correct way to repair is to change the block.<br />Gabriel
