people would prob jb weld it before they siliconed it. and even that may not hold. youd be better off pulling it out, and welding her up to close the wound. may end up doing more harm than good.

I was thinking the JB weld but some said try the silcone the gray rtv its the strongest rtv u can get.So ill try that if not ill give the jb weld a shot if that dosn't work im just going to get anothner block.

Without a pic, it sounds like an oil galley. Don't think that'll be fixed without welding it...

I would jb weld it before I siliconed it.

I put jb weld on a 6" long crack on a radiator once and it held for 2 years.

If you could get a pic it would give us a little better idea.
