Re: The free 87 Suburban
don't worry , you will have more
one time I tried to save an 88 block - spent 50 bucks to get it agitated real clean and pretty
ran a magnaflux over the valley
found about 400 cracks that were not leaking water
try using some por 15 or epoxy paint like glue

Re: The free 87 Suburban
I was thinking of adding a piece of sheet metal over it to give it some tensile strength. I guess leaving a shop light near it overnight would help it set...it's generally in the 50s in my shop in winter. Spoiled, arent' I?

A lite touch with the grinder to expose it a bit better, some brake clean to really clean up the area, spash some JB on there. Got to be nice and dry, JB doesn't like coolant until it's solid. ;D

Re: The free 87 Suburban
I had a 318 with a two inch long crack in the lifter gallery. Fixed it with JB weld and it ran forever-never leaked. Not much work, not out much if it fails.

I call any fix that comes in a bottle "snake oil", some of it does work.

I'll keep an eye on it, and hope for the best...and yeah, I was considering some type of snake oil to help it live a bit longer. I know it's a gonna get worse one of these days though
