Belzona Super Metal or Belzona Ceramic R Metal are the ONLY materials approved by Cat and several other engine manufactures. The Belzona materials may cost a few dollars more than Devcon or JB Weld but is well worth the money. Compare the technical/performance data and Belzona wins by a huge margin every time. Your local Belzona technical consultant will assist you at no charge. No other company does this. The Belzona materials will not rot, rust, shrink, corrode, or conduct electricity, yet the material is magnetic. Neat stuff.
The Belzona has an indefinite shelf life.
I have used Belzona since 1987 on the farm and in industrial applications. Contact Belzona @ www.belzona.com

They also have great elastomers for rubber repairs.

I'm surprised that no one suggested using water glass (liquid glass). Assuming the cracks are only in the water passages, it should be all you need. Buy it at a pharmacy, who knows why, it's actually sodium silicate I think. I used it on a dodge 2.5 engine with a small head gasket leak. (I actually had water leaking in the cylinder). It held for another 21000 miles before it finally let loose. The van ended up with 243000 miles on the original engine. Hope this interests you, dan...

If the cracks are accessable, then the only permanant repair is to "stitch" them up with copper clad screws. If they are not accessable, then try Don,s idea.

My friend and I fixed a cracked 9N block once with JB Weld. It worked and that little gray tractor ran like a champ for a couple of years like that. My friend sold it after that but I bet it is still runnin' on JB ( not Jim Beam).I'm not sure that it's the best way to go but it worked for us.
