Yes you can patch it up but the problem with cracks especially in alloy is they don't stop but keep going and its only a
matter of time before failure is imminent, its not going to be pretty. How long is it going to last is how long is a piece of string.

This is often true, but not always; it depends what caused the crack, and if those conditions are still present. Depending on geometry and loading, sometimes opening up of the crack can sufficiently releave the stress to stop crack propogation. Or sometimes something as simple as encountering an inclusion in the material can be enough to stop crack propogation. There's a critical flaw size for a given loading where by the crack won't grow if stess & crack are low enough. That's the question - will the crack keep growing? How big will it get? Could attempting a patch potentially exacerbate crack growth? It's hard to know the answers.
Nope. Mechanical engineering stress analysis classes from the late 90's plus industry experience since then.Copied and pasted from some site off google
I was going to say... I did a google cross reference search to see if that was even true... and it's not. You can easily find it if it was a google copy. It's not even from a text book if you do those searches either, so it was not plagiarized at all.
Haha, I just googled who's sheldon! Yeah, social skills aren't my stength, it's a good thing I don't work in sales... But I didn't know I sound like a text book
I kicked you out, but @SLOWESTN54 lets you back in so....I guess ur inI never know if I'm in the associates or out
Update on the block. It cracked through the oil drainback and into the cooling jacket. Oil started mixing with coolant. Pulled the motor got the guy a new block and swapped all his forged internals over into a new block. Will use the cracked block as a mock up block for turbo kits I will be making. After I light it up with my ar 15
Yeah clean it up good load a 60 round drum in there and go give your n54 what it deservesI was just about to clean mine
Gavin newson keeping you guys from harming yourselves. What a patriot.Only 30rd mags
