    Posted: 24 Apr 2010 at 4:16pm
My WC has a crack down most the left side of the engine. There was a patch over it wich was leaking a little, looks like it has been there a while. Is there a good way to weld the crack shut instead of patching? I have seen some cast iron engines repaired with brazing rod in the past. Does anybody know what kind of rod to use? Any other suggestions? Also, are the cracks between the cylinder  sleeves anything to worry about? Thanks, JM

I have brazed them and also used nickle cast rod. Either method works quite well. 
Covering the area with Belzona 1111 is the finishing touch.  Properly applied, the Belzona will keep the casting from leaking.

Best in-chassis fix for a crack on the left side is make a 1/8" or 1/4"  thick plate 2 to 3 inches wide and longer than the crack and drill/tap the block for 1/4" NC bolts and Hi-temp RTV silicone the plate to the side of the block after wire brushing off all the old paint. I'd drill a bolt hole every two inches or so. Cracks between the cylinder sleeves on the bottom mean the block is junk....two upper cracks next to each other (in my books anyway) also mean junk and if it's cracked on the side and in two or more places on top why wouldn't you just look for a different block???

One of my old WC tractors was fixed with lead sodier. A nice flexible fix.

For some cast iron repairs this may be another method to try.
