My mate got a cracked block - was bought as a complete motor and when cleaned off this appaered so the motor has been completely stripped - is this repairable as it's a 90 spec ERST block which he's wanting. Preferable repairer in the North west, midlands



Or does anyone know of anybody with a block for sale on std bore?

many thanks in advance

 

I wouldn't bother repairing it, there was a thread regarding a similar issue.

I've got a block, I just need to strip it. I'm in blackpool

 

I also have a block was running .5 oversize pistons its just a bare block Ł80 ono if interested?

 

pm me details mate as he's not far from you so wouldn't be a problem collecting

 

Pm on its way

 

What would happen if that was just welded up?

 

cast needs to be welded properly...theres a few different ways but if done right it should be fine.

 

Brammer, I've got a block. Let me know if any good.

Don't want ought for it, just a few beers will do.

 

Just get a different block.
Cvh blocks are neither rare or expensive.

 

Don't bother m8 I had my block welded and was made worse where ever he welded another crack appeared waist of time

 

Yeah ive welded cast before, and it was fine but it was subject to the heat cycles that an engine block is... Just wondered thats all!
