I would dump it and find an other. Not worth wasting time and money on. Likely to be thin elsewhere as well.

 

Probably a result of no or old poor glycol coolant

hey mate

 

 

thats stuffed go get one from the wreckers

[Clapped out]

That is easily repairable!!!!!!!!!! Trust me on this one!

 

I've had to get alot worse than that repaired before.

 

just as an example, my local engine reconditioners would charge $11 to fix/weld that corrosion and $66 for a surface regrind,

 

hope this helps,

 

cheers phatke30!
