Hair line crack in SBC block
Anybody have any suggestions on repairing a hair line crack in a block when it's in the car. Looks like the crack is on the passenger side 1 inch to the right and left of the 1/8 pipe thread drain plug on the passenger side on a SBC motor.
I drained the block, blew air in the radiator to help dry the area and get all the anti freeze and water out, brake kleened the area, peened on both sides of the crack to help stop it from cracking more, wire wheeled the crack then ground the crack to help when I put JB weld on it. I'm letting it dry with a drop light on it for 15 hrs.
Anybody have a different way or do you think this will work? Oh, I also will fill it with water and aluma seal then run a 5# radiator cap.
Thanks for your help.
