i have a crack in the block down the the lower thermo houseing. i got some block weld stuff and epoxy stuff to try and seal it. i hear welding might work or i have to get a new engine. what should i do?
Id watch your driving it as much as little as possible could seize at any moment. Just buy a new piece which ever you need bottom or top end. That or try and find a used engine the same probably cheaper than rebuilding it. I know with a leak it can seize from this im sure. I think it might only apply to two stroke but I wouldn't risk it.
the engine runs rough it has since i got it a new engine would kill two birds with one stone hopefully. and body know a good place to get a rebuilt one? should i get one with acc. already on it or just use the ones i got?

Ablock can be welded but I do not recomend trying it.
A better solution would be to sand blast the area, drill a small hole at the end of the crack to stop it from spreding then grind a small V along the crack and patch it with a product call "Marine-Tex"
I have done a Caterpiller block that way and 20 years later still working.
