I have a 52 TO-30 with a cracked block. Engine is a Z129. Overheats, and getting water in the oil. steamed it pretty good, now overheats within 15 minutes of use. Saw posts earlier about furnace brazing the block. The phone number for someone in Washington was incorrect.

What are the options.
1)Furnace brazing
2)JB Weld and throught bolting the block
3) what else?

Other than this, it starts, runs and works fine. All I use it for now is moving boats around. And an parade. Cannot use it for extended periods now. Would consider selling if too much work.

I don't know anything about brazing, but...
I have a 78 Toyota pickup that overheated in Atlanta traffic about twelve years ago and developed a crack in the block. A local garage welded the crack, which took several days because they could only do a short way at a time. I put another 150,00 miles on that truck after that.

I meant 150,000 miles... I left off a zero!
