Do any of the block sealers on the market work? I just tried a popular brand, and it did not. I thought I might try once more one of the more pricy types available on the net. Any suggestions? Thanks! nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Oct 15, 2012, 5:57 PM Post #2 of 4 (3207 views) Re: Ford Model A cracked block Sign In The crap in a can doesn't work it just causes issues. A cracked block can only have a lasting repair if taken to a good welder who can handle cast iron.

Jeez - when this thing was new you would just put sawdust or ground pepper in it till you could fix it right. The likely crack is water jacket out so just cast iron and can be welded up and be fine. It is a zero pressure cooling system so even less fussy except welding cast iron is different than the crudest steel welding, T nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Oct 16, 2012, 7:53 PM Post #4 of 4 (3158 views) Re: Ford Model A cracked block Sign In With the proper prep, the proper preheat and using nickel rod this will weld up just fine. I just did the crack repair on a semi truck rear axle housing that way and its good as new.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
