In Reply to: Cracked Block posted by Livin the Dream on November 10, 2011 at 06:04:41:
the C-113 and C-123 blocks are notorious for cracking in that area after freezing with water only in the cooling system. If you take the head off, you will also find a crack along the same side running along the water ports between #2 and #3 cylinders.
So, some food for thought. Thermosyphon systems are NOT pressurized, and have the greatest chance for success on a crack repair. All methods listed CAN work, but are not guarenteed. The bigger question is around the crack through the top of the block, between the water ports and sometimes the cylinder sleeve holes. I have seen a new head gaskets work on this type of crack without leak, and I have seen them fail.
Roll of the dice. Good news is, the C-113 engine is low rpm, low compression, and thermosyphon. You have to decide for yourself about whether or not to repair or replace. The only thing you have to lose is the cost of a head gasket and your time if you try (and possibly the cost to have it welded).
