Sir, May be too far for you to consider but, I had a late G that I bought and after I got it up and running after it set in barn for many years it developed a coolant leak under block. Closer inspection I found the bottom of block had a frost bite that cracked bottom of block. Engine ran good and did not leak coolant into engine just on the ground. I removed block and cast iron JD pistons and replaced it with another I had at the time. The block I removed did not show hardly any wear and had .045 oversize JD cast pistons. I know for a fact a engine machine shop here in central Iowa can fix the crack in water jacket crack and you will never see where they repaired it when done. They been welding heads / blocks and castings for over 50 years. I do not have a need for it so I never invested the money to repair it. If I needed a block I would not be concerned and would have it repaired by this shop. If you are interested make me an offer. Located in Eastern Iowa.
