the block in my shite old metro engine is scored across the head face between 2 and 3 cylinders. this is due to the head gasket gone for a while i guess. anyway, it keeps blowing gaskets as you would expect, so would jb weld or something similar be ok as a TEMPORARY measure, just to keep it going til the new engine is built? btw its not turbo, just a shitty old intergalactic milage one Edited by Leonard on 10th Jul, 2006.

Are you sure they are not cracks, have a very close look. |

I don't like the sound of JB weld personally. But - if you're desperate.....

ok dave ill put my cowboy hat on and give it a go. all in the name of science of course. it really isnt worth stripping the engine and skimming or replacing the block tho.

I hear of someone puting in a "shim" between no's 3&4 because the block was slightly burnt, perhaps this might work for you? On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

the JB weld wont last in my opinion. but the fuse wire might! either way its a total bodge but would be interesting to find out the results.
