You are on the right track on stitching. From
experience, water jacket thicknesses vary and
the rate of temp. expansion, I have had JB
Weld, welding, etc. expand if in a stress area.
For past seven years have been stictching
these up, it is done by a local fellow who drills
and slots open the crack to peen in nichols
"plugs". aparently this was common in
1930-50's but rare now. The drill and tap idea
should work fine, consider using aviation glue
for a sealant, it is heat resistant and
commonly used on other sealing surfaces.
consider the commercial stitching, old car
restorers of repute should know of a regiona
guy who does this. Lastly, if not working the
tractor and only for show, probably JB would
work.
