i dont know whos picture this is, but i need to use to to ask this question.

1/3 of the hole (where the freeze plug goes) broke off during the hammering process, could JB Weld fix it up?

this is for a sfwd, gsr block.

 

will it hold..

 

probably but maybe not

 

I have seen this hole completely sealed with something, actually looked like it was JB Weld. This was on a Pro car. It could have been something else though, if its that important, let me know and I'll call the shop and ask.

 

Yah JB weld will fix that right up. Just make sure you prep the area well and let the JB weld setup over 24 hours.

that's my block going in my beater

And to answer your question yes JB weld will work

 

Ya, JB weld should hold. Defentally prep it and let it dry.

 

Surface prep is your key to success. No oil anywhere the epoxy is expected to bond. Roughen up the surface with an abrasive, clean with acetone, lots of acetone.

And I go against the H-T norm. I think JB Weld is for home repairs. Real men use Devcon. Give this stuff a try, http://www.devcon.com/devconfa...id=34 you will never go back to JB Weld.

BTW you can buy it at WW Grainger http://www.grainger.com McMaster Carr at http://www.mcmaster.com and most large industrial bearing supply companies have it. It's not cheap, but it works when you are jammed against the wall. I have used it in industrial situations, and my Dad did before me... Now thats a recommendation!

Good luck.

Its so expensive! Iv used it before.
Defentally top notch stuff

But, JB weld will hold fine and you can get it at Walmart

Prep is KEY!

What block and what number freeze plug were you using? I did mine yesterday with a Dorman 555-104 and it hammered in perfectly in about 3 hits with a rubber hammer.

 

nice question andy

 

JB Weld works miracles

 

no! dont use jb weld! i have tried it on one of my freeze plugs and a couple of days later it was burned off. well 90% of it was. use magnum steel. every automotive store should have it. magum steel is the ****, trust me i had the same problem as u.

Obviously it was too damn big!

 

I am using a jb-welded freeze plug in the same exact location, no issues. no oil leaks. thing doesnt move at all. i forget what size, i think its 34.3mm (hole size) so i think i used a 34mm plug... coudda been 33

 

cool, so im pretty sure the jb weld will hold up.

thanks for all your guys' help.

 

JB Weld rocks; its holding in my endyn block posting studs;

6k mi 1000+ of which were/are boosted hard; no leaks
