amagnamanami :

It’s called iron stitch

Mdw0626 :

We used to do this all the time back in the 1980s early 90s pretty common practice

carlholzman792 :

100,000 block ? For what ? A cruise ship.

peterschwar 🇨🇦 :

Except heat undoes LocTite 🤷‍♂️

jasonvriens995 :

Iron stitch. I have it done two or three blocks. It worked fantastic. My understanding is the technology was bought from another company & killed .

user2302621567826 :

Wouldn’t welding be better?

user6168490723582 :

Guarantee that will not hold. You can’t hold something together from the inside. The block will still flex.

gangeuza76g :

No engine block should cost $100,000. It’s just a block.

BrownChickenBrownCow :

Is the $100,000 engine block in the room with us?

TheWiseForestWizard :

but wouldn't the crack just be at the first failure point?

Spydergod :

seems like alot when its about 10cent of weld wire.

Spriggs :

Aircraft mechanics do the same shit to fix cracks on the airframe 😂

Kraft for Kelowna :

Looks like 1 crack is now 26

Mike :

Lock n stitch it’s really cool

mad44dog :

cracker :

edbski1 :

ASTROMASTER🪐 :

Bert_GRMC :

We called it “lacing” when my ship had an engine repair shop for big cat engines. They make special screws. Half and half em. They break at a certain torque. Grind or machine it flush. Done

Jooles :

So he 'fixed' it with glue. No thanks.

Bo Orr469 :

I’ve never seen $100,000 block and if you have you’ve been on another planet

jayjayvariant :

Welding actually makes it stronger. This is not a good idea.

Jay -P- :

was common practice back in the day
