Need an engine block

Post by lancedavis » Mon Sep 26, 2016 9:06 am

I am in need of an engine block for a 1934 Rover 10 ( or better a complete engine)
The block I have has a large hole, presumably from a conrod projectile!
Thanks

It must be a BIG hole for it to be too big to weld up! If the main bearings webs are ok, it should be weldable. Just dont repeat whatever it was that caused the original failure.

I had a large hole in the side of my 16/50 block repaired by Cast Iron Welding Services of Coalville. They cut out the damaged area and welded in a new piece of cast iron by heating the whole thing up. The down side is that the block then requires skimming and the bores honing or possibly even boring depending on the distortion.
