Allan,I worked at a Ford Tractor dealership for several years.Back when i first starter i was very young and was learning from the older guys in the shop.One day we had a repo 3000 deisel come in.The farmer had lost his farm and just parked the equiptment and the tractor had no antifreeze so,the engine froze during the winter.I drew the cleanup and maintenance on the machine and the block was cracked behind the starter.A good sized crack i might add.The dealer decided to send the tractor to a salvage sale since the block was bad.Now back in those days here in the south we had a product called "RC BLOCK SEALER".One of the older hands in the shop told me to get some and get the engine good and warm and pour it in the engine.I kinda laughed and told him it would not seal with a crack that large in the block.He said pour it in there son and it will seal it off.I got it good and hot and put one tube in it.In a few minutes it sealed off and never leaked again while it was there.It sat out back and was used around the yard for several months until it went to the salvage sale.I commented about the sealer working to the older mechanic and he said "don't ever pour it in the Tennesee River" you'll stop barge traffic for months.
