Have a coolant leak into oil, cleaned it up thinking it was the sleeve "O" rings. It's not.
Need a good block for my WD
   All of the bottom webs, between each sleeve is cracked.
Anyone have a good WD block close by for sale?
Price?

Thanks for the offer.
I am don't think I can afford the shipping to get it to me in North Central Texas.
I think the block would work, but cost is a factor.

I had the same cracks. My replacement block had a lengthwise external crack, buyer beware I guess, which I had to JB Weld.
Anyone ever try brazing the web cracks?

| This is the second block in my WD, the first one had an externial crak and internal cracks as well, now this one. I sure would like to get the WD running, got a lot in it at this time. I shouldn't have, as I am retired and on a fixed income so everyting has to be done as the budget alows. What todo? I do enjoy working on it ..... |
