JB weld on a cracked block?
Has anyone ever tried using JB weld on a cracked block where the oil pressure sensor screws into the block? If so, did it work, how long did it last?

yes aluminum can be welded and i would recommend this first.. i would not use jb weld on anything that's gonna have pressurized fluids in it.

Don't do it...there's things you can half-***...and things you most definitely shouldn't.
This would be one of those you shouldn't.

Wait...so is it cracked around the threads? You're going to need welding and a helicoil if it is...could you post pictures or at least verify if it's cracked at the threads or not?

JB weld wont work well here. I've patched up lots of single cylinder briggs & stratton engines with it though after a rod went through the side, always works great, they use splash lubrication though, so no oil pressure.

jb weld can be used safely on cracked tranny housings, but typically only the dry part of it (the clutch bell housing) same would go here. I wouldn't jb weld it.

if there is nothing broke off in the threaded hole, no need for helicoil. weld it and re-tap it is all.
