new to the site... am i screwed or not
Heres what happened, the tranny side freeze plug was leaking over the top of my starter on my 1965 c10 causing issues. When looking it over i put a tee shirt over the starter so it would stop leaking in my face, when i got out from under the truck I re conected the battery and went to start it and forgot all about the tee shirt......hey you guessed it the starter sucked the tee up between the bellhousing and the starter snapping off the block covering the starter bolt.
see photos .
It chipped the block up so high that the bolt not longer nas enough thread to thread up. So I took a temp/#8 all thread and put it in the block but how do I cover the open side? Jb weld?
It gets worse The piece that broke off is now missing and I can't find it. is it time to look for a new block? can you weld castiron?
