Cummins Diesel Engine Crack Repair Reinforcement

Between the years of 1999 and 2001, Cummins Diesel manufactured a number of engines with a combination of issues that can result in a crack below the core plugs on the passenger side of the engine. Subsequently, many owners of the 5.9-liter Cummins engines have noticed that their relatively new engines have sprung leaks, even after only standard operational use. Upon further inspection, most discover that this leak comes from a crack. The affected blocks are identified by the number "53" cast on the lower front portion of the engine block on the driver's side.

Since the issue is a cast iron crack, many people turn to welding as a solution. However, it's important to know that in most cases, welding an assembled engine will cause additional cracks and even more leaks than before the welding was attempted. There simply is no magic welding rod for cast iron that will not cause more problems than it solves. Enter LOCK-N-STITCH Inc.
