Weld on block
I just bought my first cub and in trying to stop leak around oil pan, found a small hairline crack in right front of block. Am stupefied. Can it be welded? What should I do at this time. New block?

not uncommon. a welder familiar with cast iron welding can repair it.

That is a fairly common problem on many cubs. If it is small, it can be welded.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Doug,
That's really bad news. I found the same common crack last night in an engine I was planning to rebuild and have decided to scrap it. It had been repaired by welding and is holding for now, but I don't trust it. It had been hidden by smearing some kind of goop on it. There are ways to work around the problem, but it will never go away. Some people think they can weld it as strong as original... but sadly, they're wrong.
Replace the engine.

My 48 block has a big buildup of what looks to be nickel rod weld (Bright-Silver) color in that exact common break area. I just primered it this morning ready for paint cause I aint replacing the block.
I learned that it was a common problem awhile back but I have never read or heard what causes the break.

Thank you!
George,
Thanks for the picture and the exact place to look for the crack. I read several places where to look for them, but it wasn't really clear, and the engine is so covered in dirt and grease, that I have to degrease that particular spot just to see what's there.
I will check it first thing in the morning...
As for other cracks - that is a whole new post!

Look on the server for Lombard's Crack Repair. It is the answer to your question. Apparently this repair has been working for Lombard for around 25 years or so if I remember correctly from one of his emails.
