    JB Weld will totally fix this. Just get the part as clean as you can. I would fill the hole and redrill and tap, and presto, you have a new part! It never worked that way for me but thats what they claim.

    There is a product called Belzona Super Metal that’s pretty impressive. Check it out if you have a low pressure crack repair. Fuel and solvent proof! Great stuff!!!

    Worst case scenario it fails again. Grind the entire outer edge off the the through the center of the bolt hole. Cold weld the corner with Super 460 1/8” Nickel rod at low amperage. Lay in about an 1/8 build and peen with a needle scaler or slag hammer. Continue building up slowly then put a welding blanket on something insulated on it and let it cool slowly. This being on the outside of the block isn’t likely to cause issues. The heat will dissipate to the atmosphere. You can fix it! 👍🏻

    George, 

     

    I would definitely come in from the left side starting at the base of the crack and overlap the pins. C2’s will work great pin it through the bolt hole. A half inch will work there. You can stager pins at angles for better holding power. They have a piloted spot face tool. Just don’t angle to sharp that the shoulder goes below flush. You can achieve all this with a pistol drill. The C2 pins are roughly a 1/4” and we make field repairs with them often. 
    Stitch the heck out of it through the head bolt hole. Then install the head as a drill guide for the threaded insert. You got this! You’ve got my contact info, call me or FaceTime me on an IPhone

    Stromberg carburetor question

    in Technical

    Accelerator pump is the likely problem. Check the linkage first and a possible clog at the squirter jet. I’ve had to replace all the diaphragms in my carbs for ethanol gas. Dries out and deteriorates them quickly. 
    Simple and cheap fix. Best of luck

    George, 

     

    I’d use C2 locknstitch pins. Come in from the top side of the block to pull the crack together. Then from the deck eliminate the crack with pins downward in the direction of the bolt hole. Then use a thin wall Keen steel threaded insert. Use loctite 620 on pins and thread insert. 
     

    There’s also what’s called a FullTorque insert you can use. These are threaded inserts that use the same hook-thread as a stitch pin. It’s very salvageable. I make these type of repairs regularly on large CAT engines. Wish you were closer and I could do it for you.

    I would love to put my 1921 Haynes with other cars of the era. I’ve got no issues trailering it to an area. I’d love a New England tour in fall with my old jalopy! I’m a complete rookie with senior cars. I can’t wait to get involved in the slower paced fun of these old cars!

    Pee Dee Run To The Sun in Myrtle Beach. Got canceled twice last year. My car sat 12 year and I was challenged January of 2019 to have it ready by March of that year! 
    Thrashed on what was an 1/8 mile car for a roadtrip. I made it there and back! Funnest road trip of my life!!! 
    Number 4 was rod knocking amongst other problems on the way home. Fed it 20/50 and made it home. I changed the motor, springs, sway bars, shocks, radiator, electric fans, etc etc for 2020 only to get cancelled! 

    I’m super excited for next week!! My 60 year old friend put me up to it and His Nova went with my Impala!! He’s had it since 1979 and had never taken it out of the state. I’ve had my car 25 years and I’m 44 and we’re both attached to these old cars!

    Any thoughts on balancing beads?   I've got a buddy that used them in his Duesenberg and says they actually work.

    I can’t say for a Duesey but I do know people with 44” plus tires on on road driven rock crawling jeeps that swear by this. I’ve got no personal experience but I believe at least two of these guys!!! Lol
