Please let us know how you get on. I have a similar problem and need to find a solution so I would be more than happy to hear of your progress and how successful will be the end result.

Stitching at Surelock completed and successfully pressure tested.. The water ways have also been flowed to remove loose corrosion products and ceramic sealed. It will be some time before I can run the engine for the real test, but it all looks good.

Thought some of you would be interested to see some photos of the repair. As you can see, a large hole was cut out which removed all the corroded metal, some of which was part of a previous repair from way back. A new piece of cast iron was then stitched in, and then the whole water system ceramic coated internally, before finally pressure testing.

Mike ,
Thanks for posting the photos .
What a massive job that seems to be expertly done .
It has certainly saved this block .
If it is not a rude question what was the cost ?

I'll PM you with the answer. I would rather not post this publically.
