I'm starting to restore one it has a cracked cylinder wall. Does this engine have replacable inserts?

No replaceable liners on that one. It depends on where the crack is a good machine shop can do wonders and sleeves are commonly installed in cracked blocks the crack needs to be magnafluxed at the minimum. Keep one thing in mind there could be cracks elsewhere and probably are. Why did it crack anyway do you know the history? Did it freeze up or overheated and someone added water?

If the crack extends below where the boring would stop at the bottom of the cyl to index the bottom of the sleeve it wont work also if it extends to the deck it may create head gasket issues depending on the area it extends to and whether the gasket seals it or not. Personally I wouldn't sleeve it if it went to the deck but if its the last block on the planet which Coldwater in the next post proves its not :thumbsup: thats the only way I would take a chance.

You can't buy short blocks,or rebuilt engines-they don't exist. All you can do is search the junk yards.

x2 on trying West Kentucky Tractor parts. I have dealt with them and they have great service.
