Hi All,
Engine is currently out of car. It is not being rebuilt but I do have most everything all cleaned up and will start reassembly soon. Does it make sense to JB-Weld the existing oil galley plugs? I do not want to drill / tap threaded plugs due to risk of shavings in engine. Plugs are not leaking, just wondered if this is a good precautionary measure. Thx Mike |

It works best if you like wasting your time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)
JBWeld will not withstand 80psi of oil pressure if it starts fighting to get out. So you're essentially doing nothing. Sorry. |
