I have a 1947 Ferguson TE20 with a Continental Z120 Engine. I am redoing the engine (inframe) as i got colant in the oil.

The block has cracks going downwards on the front side and the backside of where the o-rings on the cylinder liners are suppose to seal, on two of the four cylinders.

welding the block is to expencive, and new cylinders liner o-rings would not seal properly..... Is there some sort of seale substans or block seal i can use to seal?

PS, this is a one shot project, if this does not work i will convert to a Standard engine or P3 engine, so it does not matter if the cylinders liners gets stuck in there forever, i just want them sealed, and I just want to keep my Continental engine running.

Does anyone have any good suggestions?

There is a method of tying the block back together on those, not sure what it involves but a common fix. Take
a look around below on the Harry Ferguson board, there are some archived posts on the subject.
 
Those sealers wont work in your case , that block need to be professional repaired by someone that has done them before. My suggestion
is to get another good block ..

Ive had a cracked block on a tractor and its no getting around , fix it right or live with the problems. Yes very expensive fixes
