Well, what I thought was just a leaking head gasket ended up being a crack from one of the cooling ports outwards toward the exhaust manifold, and about an inch down the side of the block. Pretty upset about it but I guess my question is, can these be successfully welded? I’m not willing to pull the motor on this truck, I only gave 100$ for it and it ran awesome, just leaked antifreeze slowly. I don’t see why I couldn’t weld it and then file and sand it down too a flat finish. Just looking for Input, if it can’t be fixed, off to the scrapyard
