After a bit of thinking about all of you who had cracks in your blocks I went out this morning and took some cleaner and really looked at the block. Yup, 3 cracks right were they should be. I am now looking for someone nearby who can furnace weld this back into shape.

I didn't get off as easy as I had hoped.

More later when I get into the job.

Thanks

Ouch! sorry to hear about your bad luck... been there. You can probably thank the previous owner for either overheating, or not using antifreeze and causing the cracked block. Not the end of the world though, pretty common repair. I ran a can of block sealer thru the engine when I first started it back-up to make sure everything sealed tight. Cheap insurance! The manual recommends vasoline on the orings to re-install sleeves. Clean and buff the lower tapered sleeve holes in the block with fine steel wool or similar. Grease-up the orings, and the sleeve should press right in place with the palm of your hand.
