Not worth saving. I could weld it and then deck the block but chances are the heat from the weld would release the sleeves. So you would look at a resleeve too. Cheaper to find a boneyard motor to rebuild.

J-B Weld Company - World's Finest Cold Weld - Don't Scrap It! J-B Weld It!

What do you have to loose?
Try it and see what happens.
Fill it in, smooth is out, put her back together and drive it until it blows.
In the meantime look for a donor.

Wait, what year truck and where are you located?

forgive me if I am wrong, but from my computer, it looks like a broken head gasket. Nothing to get to upset over, just order a head gasket set and bolts.

I'm with Spike on this one too. JB Weld it and look for a donor rebuild in the meantime. I mean if your in a pinch and need the truck ASAP. Good luck

My laptop screen is not the best, I guess if my rover stopped taking all my money I could get a new one. Well I hope you find a good deal on a new engine
