JB weld with heat?
Hey.. my friend got a head from a junkyard, for his 92 civic. When we were bolting up the exhaust manifold one of the studs pulled out of the head. Now, he wants to know if he can just mix up some JB weld put it on the stud and fire it in the hole, let it dry and tighten it up.
Sure it will hold, but how is it when it comes to temperature, will it break down? Hes just looking for a easy fix that will work.
I told him to drill/tap but.. he dosen't want to. So will the JB weld work?
Thanks!!

ive been told jb doesnt hold up well to heat.
i would use a timesert or helicoil if you cant afford the timesert kit
you can get a cheap knock off helicoil kit off ebay for about $25 that works great

JB can hold up to about 600deg according to the label on the instructions......the exhaust manifold and probably the studs get hotter than that.
helicoil the bitch.........

Do it right the first time. You'll have to helicoil it.
I used JB weld on my midpipe (which doesn't even get that hot) and it melted out within days.

Re: JB weld with heat? (2point2)
i did it b4 and it worked but dont overtighten it or it cracks.. and drill the hole a bit bigger so the stuff can have a solid form in there after its drilled and tapped
