A friend of mine was trying to remove the sleeves from his 8N engine block. I supplied him with forum to make sure he read all the details before attempting to remove the sleeves. Well, he now has a hole in his block. I have now sent him the list of all the salvage yards. Anyone in Utah know of a tractor salvage yard, or does anyone have a block he could get????? He has all the parts to rebuild one, so buying a rebuilt engine didn't appeal to him. Thanks for any information.

I am in the process of rebuilding my 48 8N engine. I have holes in 2 cylinders and a crack in a third. The holes were there before starting the rebuild. Neither of the holes nor the crack extends to the top or bottom of the cylinders. Zane said he has used epoxy to seal new sleeves in. That is the way I am going first. If it leaks, then I'll look for another block. I think it's worth a try.

I have access to a block, but I think the shipping cost would be prohibitive.

A lot of it depends on where the hole is. If it is behind the sleeve or in the water jacket you may be able to use JB weld. As for welding - well most of what I have read about welding these blocks has ended up as boat anchors. Welding it incorrectly or by someone who does not know how to weld cast metal will end up spider craking the entire block thus making it scrap.

Where is the hole in the block ? There have been numerous posts on this Board telling of successful welding of holes in the blocks. Perhaps that's an option in this case, depends on the location. My $.02
