block has a crack into it

block has a crack in it
wot do i do
can it be ali welded from the outside without being dismantled or has it got to be stripped?
or a new block and everything swapped over into???

only had a rebuild 15 tho ago with new pistons and everything etc and its all genuine suzuki parts
cost me a bit and defo not gettin rid of it lol

Hi,

Can you see any water leaking out of it when it is hot?
You can use JB welds to glue it in. In USA, they use it to repair BIG diesel engines and I have used many times.
I have used it to repair my Mini cast engine with it. All you need to do is to clean crack and grind v into it then fill it with JB weld mix. It will take over night to cure but once it is cured, you can machine, grind it even cut tap with it!.

its below the head just above where the exhaust runs
i though it were ma sump needed re sealing so left it for about 2 weeks til i got paid

when mechanic came to do it for me he said where the original crack was a load others have run in differant directions

had full rebuild with genuine suzuki parts aswell 15 thou ago
so not happy

if i get an empty block can i get everything transferd into it?
as least the block would be fine then??

would be too much hassle i would think if cracks are like a spiders web lol

Hi,

My concerns will be the number stamps on a engine, if you use a new block.
I think all of journals are made with torelances and they are all stamped on the block. Also, your new block might have wear on bores so I'm not sure you can use what you have. For a loger life of rebuild engine, I would buy all bearing shells and do it again. Pain, I know but....

If you need any block, you can get one from Justy boys who putting in G13B as all of G13A/B are same block.

well do you no anyone with a block lying around
my pistons are oversized anyway to 74.5 mm so will get it rebore
will just do it again i no its a pain like you said but oh well

Hi,

What I mean is for crank journals. There are stamps with the size of shells you should use.
I hope I just have been picky! I think I have a spare block but if you can get one from local, I think that will be better for you. As I will be off radar soon with a birth of a new born.

ive got one mate..

and im not too far away...

If you get a new block you will need to rebore it and get new piston rings. You can just swap the crank over and use the same big end and main shells. done it loads of times.
