HeadGasket So I Put It In The Shop A Found Out The Block Is Cracked!!:violin:
So They Tell Me Ill Have To Buy A New Engine! But I Dont Have The Money Right Now... Since Its Not Cracked That Bad My Friend Say I Can Use JB Weld On It... I Bought Some From Autozone and Thy Told Me It A 50/50 Chance That It Will Work... So What i Was Wondering Was Does iT Work? And If So How Long Will It Work????

JB weld isn't a good fix for engine cracks. If you can find a good engine shop, they can weld it for you depending on the location. If the crack is on the top, or between cylinders & water jackets. Your block is shot.

Where is the crack on the block BTW?

On The Top... But Its Not That Big.. When I Got It I Towed It To The Shop
And They Crunk It Up But It Was Water Coming Out Of The Side Of The Engine Under The Head... But The Head Is Being Rebuilt At The Shop
But I Guess I Have To Buy A New Block From The J/Y... About How Much Am I Lookin At???

Yeah, if the crack is on the top. It's not worth messing with, being the head lays on it & needs precise flatness. (junk block now)

I have no clue what a block runs, I don't live in the big city anymore. I would guess around $300. There are some guys on here that can sell you one for cheap, shipping is the factor where it is coming from.
