Locknstitch works great. The SA engine (poor storage from a previous owner) had a 16" crack in the water jacket, $200 for a Locknstitch do it yourself repair kit and now the engine is better than new.....3000 miles and counting.....

Anyone having experienced a cast iron crack, or crack extending from threaded hole to water jacket or through to cylinder bore, do not despair. See:
http://www.locknstitch.com/index.html. Link to Full-Torque inserts for information on inserts suitable for through hole/wall inserts, I.e. stripped spark plug threads. Another version (Spiralhook) are suitable for blind holes with crack extending from threaded hole to a water hole passage in block deck. Still another version is designed to fix a crack extending from deck surface and down threaded bolt/stud hole, or to cyl. bore. Last version repairs crack in threaded hole to water passage. These pull cracked thread holes together as bolt/stud is tensioned These are permanent repairs, not band aide fixes, and in most cases DIY jobs.
