Well can you?

rkeith

No.

anyone else I cant trust a jackass (lol)

You could probably braze them somehow. Weld, no.

MajorPayne

no you cant weld them, and the melting points are completely different, you could possibly "melt" one to the other, but i doubt it would hold worth a crap

Just wondering I have my brass oil return tapped to my aluminum oil pan and just was thinking of reinforcement

weld an aluminum "bung" to the pan and tap that

nuttybumpo

You want me to tap that bung hole?

yes jb weld will work since it seems as you already have a fitting, and the brass one is screwed into it.

Yes you can I have done it , I have no idea how strong it is but I did it to seal up a joint on a brass fitting to aluminum ,

legendboy

i brazed a brass fitting to a peice of aluminum no problem. not sure how strong it is tho

ManBearPig4silly

Yeah you can braze it with silver.


Just thread it in with thread sealant and call it a day.

crx12

You can probably braze it with that muggy weld stuff.

i used 2 part epoxy on my D16Y8 when i had it, just threaded the fitting into the pan with epoxy on the threads then put a 'caulk' around the inside and the outside. held great, and as far as i know it's still holding, that's been like 3 years now if not more.

I used JB weld. Never leaked and actually looked really good. Strong too

JB will work good for this since you have it tapped into the oil pan already. I used JB weld on mine as well, cleaned up a messed up welding job (next time I'll just braze it on!) lol.. why throw out a perfectly good oil pan?

but please dont be a stereo-typical jbwelder and jsut slop it on there.. wirewheel the paint off the oil pan.. maybe take some rough sandpaper to the surfaces to give it some bite. clean and prep it good and you'll be fine.

there's absolutely nothing wrong with JB weld if it's used for things like this and prepped properly. It's not he best synthetic metal on the market but it will do what you need it to do in your case.

I really wish it was called "JB Bond", than maybe people wouldnt use it for things that it wasnt intended for like 'welding' a bov flange or a crack on a manifold.

another thing, "JB Weld" is much stronger than "?JB Qwik?". takes longer to dry, but it's worth it.

Best answer you have convinced me to jb weld it

MajorPayne

yep, the quik dry stuff is crap, unless of course you really have to have something fixed quickly, but of course theres more limits as to what you can use it for

nuttybumpo

I took your advice and used JB Weld, it worked great
