you'll laugh at this but if you clean the block well jb weld will hold. crown welding eqpt markets an arc rod that works well on cast without the preheating. i think the # is 255, check with a welding shop to be sure.
if you weld it you'll want to drill a small hole in both ends of the crack to stop it from spreading. mike [This message has been edited by mike nixon (edited 09-18-2000).]

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
