Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Another cracked "53" block

[BillGotthelf]

Discovered a puddle of coolant under my truck last week. Yup the infamous passenger side crack between the freeze plugs. I don't want to replace the block-too much work in this one-so I an using a aluminum based sealer and water only. Leak has stopped so for now I am crossing my fingers.

i have heard about using a method called stiching, holes are drilled and break off screws are screwed in over lapping each other. supposed to work very well.
