Default Is this block salvageable?

Bottom end of a b18c5, if I get it re-sleeved can the other hole be repaired or is she junk? . . . Pics in gallery, thanks! . . . .

But on a serious note, sadly, Im gonna have to agree with Alpha on this one since it looks to have punched into the water jacket... But send those pics to some sleeving companies and see what they say

NOOOOOO NOT THE C5!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!
But I think it would be repaiable but it would prolly cost more to repair it than it would to get a whole new block . That poor creature. Steven if that ever happens to mine kill me right then and there.

this is the super fast response I got from Earl:

"You did a good job on that block. I can't say for sure if it can be saved from looking at the pix. I do know that there would be at least $100 worth of welding necessary, maybe more."

I would clean it good, and make a nice coffee table out of it. Just buy a piece of glass, an put it in the middle of your living room.

It's sad, but the money you'll spend on it, just to fix it, and then have to worry about it not being as strong as before, then brake again. I would just find another one.

Response from AEBS:

"Sorry but the crack looks like it to far down.
Thank you for your time and consideration."
