My rebuild is getting worse, first the crank now the block has a crack on one of the journals up to the cylinder sleeve. Some say its alright but others dont. Can it be repaired or should I look for another block |

Can it be repaired or should I look for another block Does it look like this?  If so, its toast. You COULD have it welded, but you will need to have the journal line bored afterwards, and that is EXPENSIVE!! Cheaper and easier to get another one mate. |

Just go to the wreckers and pick up a swift/barina block. Should cost you less than $100 |

Burls you are doing a 1.6 rebuild correct? |

Yes its a G1.6B EFI engine ex LWB vitara. Currently the block is shagged - cracked up between #1 and #2 cylinders all the way from bottom to top. Crank I believe is also shagged or too expensive to repair as the keyway needs doing and the mains and big ends. |

Just get another G16B bottom end, and get your head checked for straightness etc. Its not financially viable to repair that crack. |

Mine had cracked in a different spot, many see an external crack. Wonder why they crack in so many different spots??
