    Default Re: Lock-n-Stitch repair on a 3.0

    I had an engine with an external crack and looked into the lock n stitch technique. It seems sound. there are some complications with where the crack is etc.

    the real issue is this: i found out my block was cracked internally as well as a small crack in one of the heads..... glad I found out before I spent the money..
