Can this be sleeved effectively?
....and the followup......would it be worth it to do so?
Many moons ago, a friends '73 .020 over 455 ate a threaded rod from his valve cover T-handle. He finally decided to let the block go. He was going to scrap it, but it pains me to a see another traditional Pontiac block leave this planet, so I'm curious if it can be saved. Can this be fixed? Pretty hefty crack in #2 cylinder wall. Thats the only damage. All else looks good, just needs a cleanup.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
