Retired Wrencher 6,722 #1 Posted 3 hours ago i’m giving this JB weld a try. It is muffler cement It had a big crack at the base about half way around. I have some big wire wheels and I brush the heck out of it clean it up the best I could and then I applied the muffler cement. Let’s sit overnight and this is the way it turned out once I got the engine running I guess time will tell if it’s gonna last right now. It seems to be pretty stable. Hope you enjoy the video and the pictures. IMG_1245.mov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 12,223 #2 Posted 2 hours ago If you reincorce it with some 2x2 aluminum screen patch(es), it limits movement & works well. I did just that to repair an annowing porosity in my C81 K181 block behind the starter. (it was at the casting parting line). That was 6 or so years ago, still no leak.

Bill I did start it up it does not move shake or wobble from front to back any more. But time will tell how if it holds up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
