you need to know were the crack starts and stops at if in the chamber then it will need to be pluged . if it needs a sleeve that not a big deal if you have the machines to do the job. there must be someone that can do the job a round you? if you do not have a boring bar and plug kit .i can do the job and have welded blocks and used iron plugs. cold way is the best less you have a hole to fix then i welded them but this has alot to do with were the crack is some spots can not be drilled and plug so it gets welded
