I am restoring a Regular for a friend and yesterday was cleaning up the engine to paint it and discovered a large depression fracture in the side of the block. The owner had just had the engine completely rebuilt and has invested over $2500.00 in the job, and obviously the mechanic didn't inspect the block very well before proceeding. What would be the best way to repair the block so we can salvage the owner's investment? The depression has a circumference of 4 to 5 inches with only about 1 1/2 inches of intact metal holding the the damaged area in place. Only the water jacket is affected. Thoughts on silver solder, JB Weld, brazing etc. Thanks.
