hmm where the night crew at? Well I'll respond. One word, nope. The heat at the manifold is too hot and the jb weld can't handle it.

I use the stuff all the time. Its very strong, and will hold up forever <u>IF</u> you properly prep it. JB weld can handle a lot of pressure, but its very brittle. Dont use it on any parts that may be subjected to shock. Its also only good up to a few hundred degrees, so its useless on any exhaust related fixes.
About using it on your oil pan, i can gaurantee that you didnt clean the pan first.
Once it dries JB weld is practically impervious to oil and most chemicals, BUT, while its still liquid it will actually absorb the oil. It will basically be super porous, and you'll have cronic leaking problems. the oil will altually drip through the jbweld. So basically, on oil pans just be sure to take the pan off the car first, and spray it down good with brake cleaner before you use it. Wirebrushing the paint off the pan wouldnt hurt either.

i used it on my radiator when the little mounting post on top snapped off. i sanded it down to the metal and jb welded it, it hasnt given me problems since. so i guess the top of the radiator isnt too hot for it.

It will not work on oil no matter how well you clean , oil is ment to get in the tighest of clearences, blow off valve it does work. Its good stuff but it just dosent work on some stuff.

All i can tell you is that if your not going to take the time to properly clean, prep, mix and let the stuff cure, then you shouldnt be using it.

for my oil return , my welder guy threaded it, screwed it in and welded form outside, there must have been a hair line leak, so i used that blue high temp silicone and it works good, oil return isnt under much pressure

how about on the bov flange on the charge pipe?
I've used JB weld once on my car, and it was to put in a vaccuum nipple on the intake charge pipe for the Profec. If you prep and cure it correctly, it will stay hard as a rock.

i'd say it'd be just fine on a bov, but i would not recommend it for the charge pipes. the reason being there is just too much stress if something shifts (we all know how well the pipes fit anyways) it would crack.
