Desperately need a good block for my model 60. Or, if someone can offer a suitable permanent repair for a crack in the cylinder wall, above the piston travel.

All help and advice appreciated!

Regards,

Tom

Does the crank run along the bore, or around the bore? Around the bore sounds like a classic case of overtorquing the headstuds. IF this is how yours is cracked, you can have a repair sleeve shoved into that cylinder and it should work fine. Had a cracked A block fixed like that about 10 years ago and I ran it a couple years after the repair w/o problems before the block was replaced with a power block.
