Ha, that's what I was thinking. I was embarrassed to mention that here for fear of users telling me how "bad" an idea that would be...lol...
I was just at the boat and I used some solvent to wipe the crack and get it really clean. I wanted to see if it was weeping oil without the engine running. If it's not weeping, I was going to try an engine crack repair epoxy. J-B Weld is one but there are others.
My thought was that if the crack was weeping, nothing would ever stick. But, if it's not weeping, I'd wire brush the crack, clean it and then put a patch on it. It might just stop or slow it until the fall so I'd not lose use of the boat this summer.
My main issue is my son is getting married this fall and we have a huge wedding bill. I can't afford to drop a lot of money into my engine right now. I'm hoping I can patch this crack and have it last until, like you say, "the Full Monty."
