[T3] cracked block

[Keith Park]

Thanks,

Ill keep this in mind, Im looking at several options to changing out the
engine so I may be able to save it yet.  With the VOC regulations we don't
get much in the way of good glues up here anymore but I do have a buddy that
owns a marine store.  In the spring I can get the timing belt off there and
really clean things up and see how much of it is really thin.

Thanks

Keith

Hey Keith! You can easily fix that by grinding a long v cut into the block
and then applying a 2 part epoxy called Marine-Tek. You should be able to
find it at any marine supply store. We use it down here on cast engine
blocks all the time. If you can't find it locally, send me an e-mail and I
will send some to you. The area MUST be clean and dry. If applied properly
it will outlast the block. Good luck! 


BTW, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone! Thanks so much for
all the help in the past year. Hope to see most of you at the invasion. Doug
