JBWeld a scrap of soup can over it and it'll be good as new!
Seriously- that block is scrap metal and nothing more. It *might* be possible to patch, but wouldn't be worth it when you can find rebuildable cores for almost free, and good running engines for a few hundred dollars. I only got $700 for my 1974 240D when I sold it, and it was a good running daily driver with a strong motor.

Bought a Gwagen with an additional blown 240D engine , big end failure at #1 which threw a rod and punched a hole in block . Was wondering if the block is repairable? Main bearing foundations not affected . I don't want it but was hoping someone might be able to use it - or do I sell it for metal content. #1 crankpin was 40 thou smaller than the other 3 ! I guess conrod ran steel to steel for a while until it let go. Peter Capetown
