Engine block repairs
Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 11:19 am
Hello all,
Well, I seem to have a crack on the top end of my engine block. No one seems to be doing "stitching repairs" here in India. I was advised that an epoxy applied on the block after drilling around the crack would work well. Has anyone tried this process ? Any professional restorers I could talk to for advise ? Any recommended epoxy to use ? Any other suggestions ?
Its quite frustrating to have the whole car sorted out and then discover a crack in the engine block !! Sadly, pressure testing is not available here !
Regards
Parth
