It's pretty tough, to get the welder in some of those crevices, hence the enormous patch. I couldn't get the whole thing welded, so I'm finishing it off with JB.
No time for sand-blasting, I'm going to use some gritty sand-paper.

What's funny is it flips down the freeway, cracks the engine, and not one rear-set broken. Go figure.

 

of course a real weld would help keep the crack from spreading ....

 

Nice try with the aluminum. My advice..

Grind down the old welds and JB WELD.. or.. try to reweld. those welds dont look half bad.. too bad he missed the crack


either way your gonna need to grind down the first cpl of layers for the jb weld or a propper weld.. so dont forget the grinding/sanding !

 

Cast Aluminum!?
Those are Great Welds!!!
Grind down the old welds!?!?
That would be crazy!!!

yeah that weld is beautiful.....and he did the exact right thing, you would have to weld that area especially at a motor mount...JB weld alone wouldnt touch it. You did it right weld & re-enforce as much as you can and hit the leftover cracks with sand paper and jb weld, perfect brother

 

falling out of trucks?

 

no, trailers somersaulting down the road

 

JB kiwk dog drys much fast:YEAH er and just as strong. I live by the kiwk dog.

 

i see things i can't understand on this thread

srry for u engine bro, hope that nice weld plus JB is gonna hold good

 

 

well, you're not Borne...

 

..........I am the master. :YEAH


Holy hell Twizzla.....you weren't kidding.

 

I just bought some. Let's see how it works.

 

Hopefully it will

 

yess!

 

It will, stuffs awesome. I use a similar substance called all metal for gas tanks, and it holds there (this stuff is even better).

 

By all appearances this stuff SEEMS to be completely awesome. It's like play doe, just put it on with your fingers, completely dries in a few hours, and acts like metal.
We'll see if it holds.
