In Reply to: Cummins 53 block posted by SVcummins on February 01, 2019 at 20:39:52:
From what I have read about the 53 blocks they were cast in a different factory (Mexico?) and that factory did not maintain proper thickness of the casting in multiple locations. I think it is ok to give a shot at welding the crack. However, problems are liable to appear in other parts of the block over time. Long term I think you should plan on replacing that block. By the way, according to Motor Age magazine, the Cummins B series engine averages 450,000 miles before the first overhaul. I don't know of any car or light truck engine that matches that longevity. The only maintenance I have done to my 12 valve in 350k miles is to replace the front crank seal.
