I have bought a 6.0 LQ9, From what i can see the motor has very low miles on it but I am asuming the motor was replced due to the broken piece of the block. What I want to know is do you think this can be fixed? It will not interfear with the seal of the oil pan gasket it just will not allow you to tighten at this spot which would cause a leak. One idea I have is to drill the hole out all the way down for a longer bolt then maybe JB weld the broken spot to provide the flat surface. Just wondering what your ideas may be and if you think maybe a shop can fix it or can I do something myself to fix it? I have included a photo of the damage in order to draw a conlusion.

 

You can just send it to me, and it will be my problem instead of yours

 

I will keep that in mind but I think I will send you a cam instead

 

What bolts on at this spot?

I am pretty sure that your JB Weld idea would work.

Take the block to a good welder and have them rebuild the corner and then tap the new bolt hole. JB Weld is only for non stress areas.

 

the oil pan bolts on here so I need something that will hold

 

I agree with having a welder rebuild it. once he's done grind it smooth, tap your new hole and it's done

 

just need to find a good welder who can be creative with iorn
