Nice crack Albannach...

There are lots of wee ones, but none as noteworthy as the one in the picture.
I wouldn't have trusted Araldite ... I wonder if Belzona would do it?Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it's

Seriously though, Andy; Tales like yours worry me . I assume that you have kept your truck well maintained and that you dont really thrash it. I had a 2.4 crack on me some years ago, and that was all part of the learning curve, but when I went for a 3.0, I was hoping to avoid a repetittion. Was the failure very sudden, or did you get an incling that there was something "not quite right" first?......Cheers....Mick." Time wounds all heels ".

The truck is well maintained, has had 2 cooling system flushes since I bought it 2 years ago. It had a new radiator (just in case), new cap and 'stat just after I bought it. It's never been thrashed and has never overheated (since I bought it).
The first clue I had that there was something wrong was a gurgling cooling system when I turned it off one evening. It only lost about 3L of coolant and even though the crack is a biggie, it didn't spit coolant all over the place.Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it's

Well you did all you could, so the rest is just down to metal fatigue, poor design and bad luck. By the way, Andy, at what mileage did it fail?..........." Time wounds all heels ".
