I recently bought a boat near Atlanta that has a cracked block. After some research I discovered what is called Metal Stitching or "LockNStitch". After tearing down the engine the only visible cracks are in the cooling jacket. Now my question is has anyone here ever used "metal stitching" or "cold welding" to repair a cracked block (cooling jacket). I know it is more commonly used in heads but I have heard of it being used in blocks as well. Below is a link to the site and it has some interesting examples and uses. After reading through other forums on the internet it seems like a good alternative to paying $1400 for a new block. If you go to the website click on "Repair Examples" at the top of the screen... It is very interesting. Thanks for any input! Sam
