My first guess would be to have a new aluminum lip machined.
It would look just like the ring on a Ball-Jar lid. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.fantes.com-10819-1436029956.1.jpg) Then JB weld that into position and suck it down with the tacto plate till it cures. Then disassemble and add gaskets/RTV. |

I have the same issue with my car. The plan is to have a aluminium plate cut out, and then to use case sealant to provide a more permanent seal. With that in mind, what product would anyone suggest to use?
I figured that I should still build up the lip, so I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned! So far, it looks as if all the grease is out.. then I put a jar lid on the inside, and used masking tape on the outside. This created a "moat" which I filled with JB weld... Once set, it was filed and shaped to similar shape of the case. It looks as if I might still be able to use the normal, o-ring and taco plate cover.. but if there is a chance of leaking again, I don't see the point. Any comments as to the method I'm planning??

I'm truck mechanic . We use this stuff called Bellzona, not sure of the spelling, very expensive, to repair engine blocks where the block was damaged it is machineable when cured.

I had some 5mm aluminium plates, laser cut to replace my taco plate cover...
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1260.photobucket.com-18462-1437089874.1.jpg) The plan is to use case sealant to provide a more permanent seal. I don't have a temp gauge... With just a very light filing around the perimeter of the plate, it is a perfect dropin fit and the bolt holes line up perfectly. Hope it works!

I personally use Devcon F
Aluminum based 2 part putty. Has same thermo expansion rates as aluminum, so with the shrinking and expanding of aluminum it won't eventually crack and separate. Without pulling the motor, I agree with the MOAT approach and sealer. My vote is caused by misplaced floor jack while lifting |
