Pinning-yes/no

listened to a couple of good ol boys declaring that pinning was a bad idea--that heavy work would cause failure----not sure if they meant that the pins themselves would break or that more cracks would show up away from the pinned area. They said a 'good' weld job was better but only solution was a new block. After watching how the pinning is done I can see you have to be experienced to get it right. My guess would be that not all cracks can be pinned but I don't picture welds holding either. Anyone have more to add?

I have two fergies and two extra blocks - at least three are cracked. The two extra blocks were welded - twice each and both times they failed. I have a Z129 on a TO20 that was pinned over ten years ago and it has run like a top ever since. No water in the oil at all. If the machinist knows what he's doing (experienced)then I would go with pinning every time. If I find out the other fergie is cracked (knock on wood), I'll have it pinned and won't even consider welding. I've got some photos if you want to see them.

Hope that helps.

I think youve just about hit the nail on the head. I've had blocks pinned and fail and welded and fail, it all depends on a lot of variables like how bad the crack is, how good the welder or person doing the pinning is, etc, etc. You pays your money and takes your chance. The only sure way, obviously is a new block, but that always isnt possible.
