Hi guys, as in the pic have i got anything to worry about?? Can it be sorted easily enough/or does it not really matter

 

Dont look good mate! thats a nasty crack....someone with more knowledge on this, will help you out more tho

 

That looks like its gone down the thread, I'd be fitting a new block.

What prompted you to remove the head ? Could be this was the cause ???

 

hmmmmmm not good then!!! This was removed from a rolled escos which i bought as a whole car years back,then was gonna get the lump re-built with all new parts......but plans have changed some what now and was gonna sell it!!

Large paperweight anyone??

 

that my friend is foooked!

 

i need a dead block to help me mock up my focos build as the lads have said its dead so if you sell it can you send me a PM with a price please

 

i thought that could be sorted with long studding i was told as i bought a block with cracked head bolt studs as i was going the long stud route anyway,

see this thread here

Piss easy fix this is.
tabetha

 

by long studding or another way? im gonna 6 long stud mine

 

i aint gonna repair this as i was gonna sell it......but the mixed opinions i dont know how to price it.....especially if it is repairable!

I wish i'd left the head on now!!! lol

 

well lets put it this way MK got his 200 block the same as yours for £109

 

really?? im not doubting you as other replies of yours that i have read always seem to make sense and you appear knowledgeable but please explain as if that was mine it would be getting made into a table or stool lol!

 

wot TABETHA is saying is you send it in and have long studds put in which means you will be pulling the head down on a studd that is taped well down in the block past the crack and its all so stronger the deeper down in the block so it will not crack any more hope you under stand

 

yeah i see what you mean now deffo a stud job, i had an rs turbo block cracked like that and when i wound a bolt into it , it was opening the crack up more but like you say a stud would be fine

 

iv had loads of blocks like that long studded..not a problem...if you want to sell it il buy it..pm me a price

cheers danny
