I have a motor block out of a farmall regular that I am restoring and the motor has a small 3 inch external crack above the port holes. How can I fix this without getting to expensive. Any advise would be helpful in the cure for this old engine. I would really like to keep this engine with the tractor because then I will have the complete tractor and all the actual implements that were delivered with it in 1928. Thanks, Les

If the crack is all external then you can drill a small hole at each end of the crack to keep it from running further and then V it out a little bit and get one of the Devcon epoxies to fill it in and seal it. We did a 4239 Deere engine in an IR compressor like that. It had an external crack almost the length of the water jacket and leaked like a sieve but ran like a top otherwise. That was 4 years ago and it hasn't leaked since. You should be able to find a web site for Devcon or call somebody like Graingers tech line and get Devcons number and they should be able to recommend which one of their products will work the best. I talked to a guy the other day that is an old time machinist and he said he has fixed several blocks like this over the years and has never had a problem with any of them either. He said if you put the epoxy in and wait til it's almost set hard and then run over it lightly with a needle scaler it will give it a texture almost identical to the surrounding cast so once you paint it's almost impossible to find the repair. Good luck.
