unfotunately i would suggest that you take it to a professional welder - or scrap the block(which i doubt is an option) the more crap you put on it the harder it will be to repair properly(if at all)---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

I would grind a v groove, then weld it. You can use job weld over the weld to further seal it. I have seen this done on a marine block and 20 years later the same engine is still in use91 protege gt. dropzone mx3 springs, mx3 crossmember, ractive front and rear strut braces, rear lower mx3 brace, 4 wheel disc brakes, corksport ss brake and clutch lines,kvr front pads, ractive cai,ram air hood scoop, modified front bumper, shaved ant and rear trunk lock, fubu ant, short shifter, corksport bronzeoil shifter bushings,92 glass sunroof and tail lights, mx3 center console, autometer gauges (volt and oil pressure) cluster needles painted to match, sound system, 17 inch eagle alloy 193 with 205 40 17 rubber. klze is ALIVE BABY!! . http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2394656http://www.toprotege.com/forums/show...hlight=project[url]

>ALUMINUM BLOCKS ARE FINE
With that out of the way
Since it's on a water passage you can probably get away with JB welding it. If you do put some fiberglass impregnated with JB over it as well.
You could also braze it if you're up for it. Heat the block up if you do that though.Beater=/= Sleeper

I'd say brazing is closer to soldering than welding.
This would be a good opportunity to learn a life skill and brazing would last the lifetime of the engine if done proper.Beater=/= Sleeper
