Re: IML: cast iron welder in SE?

[PAUL WENTINK <randalpark@xxxxxxx>]

Hmmm, I think you should replace the block. There are lots of sources 
listed on the OIC web site. Imperials with 413's don't have matching 
serial numbers, but are designated by year. I am thinking that your car 
was a '59. There should be some '59 413's out there, if you care about 
the serial number. If not, since you are going through all this 
trouble, I would recommend that you buy a rebuilt long block for the 
car, or buy another engine and have it rebuilt.

IMHO, repairing cracked blocks is usually a last resort for rare 
unobtainable replacements. I don't believe that a 413 is in that 
category.

I discovered that my 413 engine block is in fact slightly cracked. The 
machine shop missed it during the magna fluxing. I almost put the 
engine back together but noticed a hair crack in the water jacket. It 
is not in the cylinder and a good welder should be able to fix this. I 
am looking for an experienced welder with an oven who will use the low 
nickel muggy 77 rod. If any of the members in the southeast know of 
someone let me know. 
Thanks, David

Your note posted to the entire list, you aren't blocked. No one's 
upset. What questions do you have about your Imperial?

Carl, Did my email from the site arrive blank? Have I been blocked, I 
am confused about this matter. Not clear how to contact Steve Directly. 
I really enjoy this site, but I am surprised to find that no one is 
replying to my email questions. Anything you can do to clear this up 
would be appreciated. I am new member and just trying to understand how 
this works. My apologies if I have upset anyone 
 
 
Best regards, David Carpenter
