iWrench Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Found this OEM short block for sale and the seller disclosed there's a "nick" on one of the decks as seen in the picture. Is it far enough away from the water sealing surfaces to not be a problem, or would it be too risky and leak prone? It would be for a ~350 whp build in a LGT.

KZJonny Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Take that pic to someone who can Tig aluminium and ask if they’d fill it. I wouldn’t risk the time and effort to build a block with that big of a ding near a water jacket unless it could be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with a guy who was an industrial welder for years, I'll ask him what he thinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
