Default Re: Do you think a sleeve will fix this?

Mart, when we sleeve a block that has a broken-out piece that goes to water (like when an errant rod gets loose) or has cracks like you see there, we use this:

It's the best we've found,and does a good job. Of course stop drilling cracks and possibly pinning the end to reduce the gap of a wide crack is recommended,but we have good results installing sleeves with Fluid Weld.
