Test of the CJ5 1967 diesel motor

Here is my setup to test my CJ5 diesel 1967 jeep motor.

Since the tank fuel was missing, I had to use my imagination;

Why two fuel line? Because a diesel motor is using a fuel return.

I added a “no-return” valve. The  PO let it in a box full of parts. I also added a temporary fuel filter.

Here is pictures of a crack that we found on the block after we started the engine. It is around 1″3/4 long.

I asked people hints and some recommend to weld it, to use JB weld, or use Loctite cold weld stuff. I don’t have a lot of money to spend on it. I don’t want to rebuild that engine.  I think I will try to drill both end of the crack then trace it with a dremel. I will try the loctite solution.

I’m open to suggestions.

I will post video later.
