    Solution hmmmm!

    The wonderweld solution is not the best Method Wolfgang.Ment to stop leaks when driving on the highway in a emergency situation and you dont know what to do else then getting help from a survy car or tow truck ? It makes Things even worser as it closes up your water channel system. Better to weld repair it at once in combination With another solution. This crack will be bigger if you dont stop it to burst! The Welding should be done together with the pin/sticks method by making small holes at regulair Places along the crack to get the tension out of the crack and to stop it going any further.

    One alternative is to ask Volker at this forum to help you ship an 6 cyl. engine block from the US to Germany as he is very helpfull and has freight spedition comp. Connections ?
