Broken engine block

August 31, 2005, 05:41:26 PM

So here it goes. I decided to make a new thread cause this is a new problem still reguarding th water pump. I missed a bolt and pulled alittle too hard. long story short, I can see the distributor gear through were to water pump goes. When jb weld says engine blocks, how good is that. I am pretty much screwed here. I will have to take a picture. I cracked it on the bolt that I didnt realize had a nut thingy on it. How the hell can the water pump be buffer then the engine block? ed v-6's. This may be something to junk the car over.

I just looked at my 6, sounds like you broke the front cover to the motor, so i dont think you wiped out the block. lots of aluminum on these blocks, sometimes good sometimes not.

Pictures would be nice, but you probably cracked the timing chain cover.

havent had enough time to get to it really. Its just that I need to get a good hour or two to get the cover off of my car, and a good hour or two to get it off at the junk yard. Dosent work too well, being as the junk yard closes at 6pm and is 30+ mins away, and I get off at 5pm. I will let you guys know though.
