i have a b18c5 sleeved block to 85mm , i hydrolocked it , and threw a rod(crower) threw the bottem of the first cylinder under the sleeve. the bottem of the cylinder has a little notch from where the rod broke in half ,now my question is if i weld the dime size hole and replace the rods with new ones and leave the bottem of the sleeve alone will this work ? what would happen if i put it back together but left the lil notch ?thanks

oh and if someone can tell me how to post pics i will ... thanks

 

you can't just say replace rods with new ones, you have to have someone look at the journals to see if they are ok

 

i need new rods -ones bent and the other one is in 2 parts

you cant just put rods in an engine you just destrioed, the entire thing needs to be measured to see if its even usable.

 

i know this ,im saying after it gets dingleberry honed and hot tanked and after its been sonic checked ,and mesured up with pistons.. plus if i knew how i would post pics ..

dang that doesn't look good at all

 

no oil leaking outside the block?

 

no oil leaks or coolent mix

 

can anybody answer my question?

 

I'm no expert, but I would check for roundness and make sure the sleeve didn't shift at all. As long it it didn't u should be fine, since the piston does not travel down that far.

Just my opinion.

 

so after i get it all inspected and cleaned up ect.. and just say it checks out ,and put it all back together will it burn oil from those notches on the bottem ? thanks

As long as it doesn't affect the piston rings u should be fine. Why don't u check ith your locla builder or machine shop.

 

im just trying to get info before i waste time and money bringing it places, trying to save my self the headaches , thanks .

I don't really know that much about welding blocks, but from what I know about welding, I wouldn't trust the weld. But, make sure you take it to a good welder.

 

ive spoken to 2 machine shops (on the phone)and both said it can be welded .
