Re: Is that a problem
Find someone who can lock-stitch the crack and install a new threaded insert. Crack is from water jacket to water jacket so yes repairable.

Re: Is that a problem
Agree can be repaired. If you leave it the strain of the bolt will open that crack wider and you risk pulling out the thread insert even more than now. A good welder should be able to penetrate down far enough to be a meaningful repair. A surface weld will fail promptly.

Re: Is that a problem
A good welder is not necessarily trained on iron; and he can ruin a block easily. Be very careful; welding iron is nothing like welding steel. I would ask Abrahams, but you aren't here.

Good pictures. Two piece sleeves? Find whoever did that and slap him.
