you'll laugh at this but if you clean the block well jb weld will hold. crown welding eqpt markets an arc rod that works well on cast without the preheating. i think the # is 255, check with a welding shop to be sure.
if you weld it you'll want to drill a small hole in both ends of the crack to stop it from spreading. mike
