Porous 1750 Block

[Dick Stachowiak <stachowiak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Today I was replacing the motor mounts in my 71 GTV . While I was at it 
, I decided to clean of some of the gunk that was built up on the side 
of the block under the intake manifold.   After cleaning I noticed some 
coolant weeping out of the side of the block.  I was cleaning with a 
wire brush and some solvent and may have disturbed some crusty material 
where the original leak may have sealed itself.  I can't see the exact 
location, but it is well below the head gasket and intake manifold 
gaskets.  I recall about 30 years ago that my local Alfa dealer 
recommended that a block sealer be added after a head gasket 
replacement,  and I think was sold with an Alfa part number.  I 
remember that it was a powder and I think it was silver, but I'm not 
positive.  Doe's anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to deal 
with this?
