Block Front Fixing Lug Broken

[Bob Culver]

And even if it is cracked to the bore not the end. No water involved. could drill and fill just beyond visible end of crack. If it is a good block not seriously worn, you have the pistons for, not showing rust coming through worth a punt. Unlikley to strrnd you. Attention to the engine mounts may lessen the loads on the stud, much of which comes from the chassis flexing. Soft gasket lessen leaks but tax the lugs.
