Hairline crack in block, can it be repaired?

bigred-driver · 12-01-2007, 07:13 PM

Just degreased the cart I just got and I think I see a hairline crack in the lower end of the block. Can these be successfully repaired. The engine runs and I plan on placing it on ebay but want to know if the crack can be repaired.
Thanks, Jim

If it isn't leaking oil i would just let the next person deal with it.

I would check and make sure it's not a casting mark. It may look like a crack, but just be a mark made during the casting process.
