Horrible news/ needing advice... So I pulled the motor out of my mk3 turbo and noticed something bad.. There was a very small crack by 2 coolent channels by cylinder 2.. They don't appear 2 be leading into the cylinder how can I fix this? I was going to get the block pressure tested then weld the cracks it has then shave the block to ofcourse resurface and smooth it out.. Is this worth it? Or will the compression and force of the engine f-up the welds and moter if I take this route? .. Should I look into a 1jz swap??
