my car has been leakin oil out by my oil pressure switch so I went to replace the switch. I figured it had never been done and it would be a good idea if it was leaking. so i took it out and put in a new one. I literally watched the crack spread on my block. It wasnt the switch that was leaking it was my block. There was a small crack on the underside near the switch and by putting in a new switch, it spread the crack and started a new one. so now my car is undriveable and I am being force to cruise in my mothers minivan. I was thinking of taking apart my engine, selling the good parts and getting a supra engine put in. what do you guys think?HELP PLEASE!!
thanks nate --------------------  The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed? |

do you have a pic or something... i really cant imagine how the head could crack like that.
take it to a local mechic, there has to be an easy fix for it. its just the head, i bet they could weld the crack. even jb weld might work on something like that. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

[right][snapback]353106[/snapback][/right] i dont have the car with me right now, its at the shop. so i cannot take pics right now. when she gets home i can get em tho. im bringing her home tomorrow, the work starts monday. I asked a family friend who is a mechanic and he said that he couldnt weld it. not sure why but he told me tho onlt thing i could do was swap it out. its ok tho. the only way it would have cracked like it did was if there was already a small crack started...hence the small oil leak. so i dont mind replacing it if it was the piece that was screwed up in the first place. -------------------- The question is not how far.
