thanks,
the head is off the block, i do have another head that i am soaking in diesel for now while i break down the block, the the crack on the surface of the block is from the water jacket inlet at the center of the block on the surface, heading toward the number one center head-stud hole , i see this stud has only about 5/8" to grab and i'd like to prevent a further issue when torquing . i understand there are other options to prevent furthering the crack, a very thin short crack in a venerable location.
no plan to weld this. being cast what might be a better option ?
