3.0 Mercruiser engine waterfall

[Dfwtxboater]

I used JB weld for a crack in the block but now I have a waterfall coming out of the engine that looks to be a gasket between the exhaust mani and the block? I dont know where to start? Any recommendations on the issue would be helpful.

3.0 liter block often will crack just below the deck.

Use a mirror and you'll see it

+1 to this. I've seen the crack personally as well near the top of the block. It's not pretty when it happens.

Start saving for a replacement engine or cut your losses to sell for what you can and move on.

There's no fixing that unless you want to spend more than what a remanufactured engine costs to get for something not worth that repair.
