cast iron repair

[crosspurposes]

anyone know a good shop that does cast iron repair on a block....??? trying to find someone that can do the lock n stitch type repair,...trying to save a motor.
In NW Ind or IL would be good, but could bring motor further if need be.
thanks in advance

wheres the crack at on your block? i got a 010 block thats repaired on side above starter from back freaze plug to about 7 inches toweds front plug,..been holding for years....gotta use high nickle rods an cool it off right...all i know!

It's not hard to do yourself. I clean and prep the block for welding, put in my Am Pro oven and heat to about 450 degrees, weld with nickle rod while in the oven, then close the lid to let it cool slowly. I've had good luck with spray weld also preheating the same way.

Thats how they do diesel heads and blocks and seem to have real good luck with them.
