Re: cracked A block?
I have seen a lot of B and A blocks running cracked, with no welding. Since it is wet sleeves, the main worry is strength, not sealing.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Re: cracked A block?
Can you post a pic of the cracked area? I welded a jeep 134 f head between the two center cylinders. It cracked across the head bold threads. I drilled a small hole at the end of each crack and then I ground it out with a cutting disc on my 4 " grinder into the water jacket and welded it up solid using Certainum cast iron arc rod. Then i decked the block in a milling machine and drilled and rethreaded the hole. Luckily the crack didn't make it to the cylinders.
I found out later they used the jeep as a yard vechicle for plowing snow and ran it over heated a lot.

I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.
