I was installing an exhaust stud into a heli-coiled cylinder and caused the aluminum to crack around the heli-coil. I was hoping there was a way to repair the aluminum and redrill and tap a new hole?
I came across the following web site and wondered if anyone has used this company's product with success? New Technology Product I appreciate any feedback. Also, if anyone has a heating system, or parts of one. they wish to sell. please let me know. (pre 1975, preferably 1974 1.8L) THANKS |

Just send it out to somebody good to weld it.
That rod is probably similar to the glorified solder stuff Sears sells. Tried patching a crack in an aluminum Cub Cadett oil pan with the Sears stuff. Aluminum conducts heat so well (away from the weld site) that you will have big problems getting it hot enough to make the solder stick. Then it all the sudden slumps and flows away where you don't want it. Sucker leaked in no time and recracked. Was worth a shot as the temps were low on the bottom of the engine. You use that stuff and your gonna need major grinding or a new head. Your head, do what you want. Ken |
