That crack is fairly common, and a lot of blocks have been scrapped because of it. But they are becoming scarce, and some folks have had fair-to-good luck with repairing them, in a number of different ways. I would not scrap it. I have a CJ engine in my GPW that has been cracked and welded. The weld looks like it was put there by a pigeon, but it almost doesn't leak. It seeps just enough to stay always wet, but never enough to run down and drip off. It's such a sweet running engine, there's no way I would throw it away.
  GPW engines are quite a bit scarcer than CJ's, and if you don't wish to try to repair it or have it repaired, someone else would.     BW

Happy Trails! Good-bye, Good Luck, and May the Good Lord Take a Likin' to You!
