Yep jb weld is great stuff. My bro used this on his motorcycle engine side casing that was cracked. He gave it a good key inside and used it on the inside and is still perfect after 4 years. All that high heat as well from the engine and it still don't leak. I use it all the time and used it on the exhaust and is still there after 6 months. The smell can come into the car though when the exhaust gets hot but you can slap gum gum exhaust paste over the jb weld and it solves that problem.
I tried using JB Weld on my sending unit on my 2002 ford taurus SE and the gasoline turns JB WELD into a rubbery solution after 5-7 months. Today I have a transmission case with a hole in it about the size of a side of a zippo lighter from buying CV-Axles on eBay. Too stiff and no lock ring and knock it pretty good and I was wondering if there is pressure in a transmission on the passenger side 3 in from the CV Axle seal.
I got a lawn mower that was left outside. I was bored decided to get it to run. and I did but the thing spat out oil. oil tank clearly took water already knew this cause it was a pain to get all the water out. but did not see a crack that was likely made in winter when the tank likely filled up and froze. since I got the thing to run I'm going to try to seal the crack with this! looks like it should work as long as it can handle heat and heavy vibrations. I'll find out! this push mower was nicer then the one I've been using so worth it.
Thank you I will going to play it safe don't want to do it again haha. Besides that I am going to put extra along the seam to the tank as a just incase only appears to be leaking from the crack but I only want to do this once! I already plained on buying some Tomorrow and hopefully be able to use that mower the next day!
I never put anything that needs mixing on paper or anything porous because the paper will absorb some of the chemicals. Go to dollar tree or a kitchen supply department and get a stack of those flexible cutting sheets, wax paper or an old plastic cutting board. I also clean the area well with acetone. sometimes scoring the application site helps the bond too.
For a job like this, regular JB weld would have been much better than JB Kwik Weld. Also it's an untidy repair. He should have wiped the excess JB Weld off immediately.
OVI-Wan Kenobi too many no nos : no cleaning with ACID , no scratch with sand-paper , no time to dry , no show if it works in practice ,,, something sounds very wrong ; and my English syntagma isn't enough to explain how much l mistrust this tutorial .
To use JB weld, ALL OIL needs to be removed from the surface of where the JB weld is going. After it dries though, it should be perfectly fine in an oil bath.
Santaji Shirke I've used it to repair crushed oil pick up tube which was submerged into the hot motor oil in the oil pan of a vw once and drove to San Francisco from Calgary and back without a problem, just make sure you clean the matting surface of all contamination before applying it.
Does anybody here know if JB Weld would work on thermostat housing studs? I (slightly) stripped a thermostat housing stud while replacing the thermostat in my car. I say slightly because it'll still screw in and you can't move it, but when I put the nut on and tighten it, it'll pop right back out. I really can't afford to buy a new head and don't really have the time or skill to take the head off and re-thread it.
+jackslater230011 I would call that fully stripping. Anywho, you say studs. If the studs are stripped, you can remove the studs and put new ones in. If there are any good threads on it, use the double nut method to remove the stud (google it). If there are no good threads left, use vice grips to remove the studs. What is your plan for using JB weld to fix stripped threads? Are you saying you want to JB weld the housing instead of using fasteners??
It's actually the bolt hole that is stripped. And I wanted to know if the JB Weld would hold if I put it on the stud thread and and screwed it back in the stud hole and let it cure for the 24 hours.
jackslater230011 Ohh I see. Hmm I don't know really. I have never tried it. A thermostat housing doesn't need to be torqued that much, so I really think that there is a good chance it might work. I think it is at least worth a shot, I don't think you have anything to lose, it is not like the JB weld will make the situation any worse. Any type of thread repair would be to drill out the hole anyway. I really want to know how that turns out if you try so let me know!
Fixed my smashed oil pan on my 05 Sunfire with JB Weld. Great product. Like he said prep/clean surface.
dude i broke the joint for the clutch handle on my crf 150 2009 honda bike, and it seems like jb weld will do the trick! thank you so much

This is the exact video I needed to watch. Thank you.

Did the job weld hold on the transmission and did you use the industrial strength as I'm having that done next week.

Yup it should work! Try to push the JB weld down INTO the crack instead of just over it.

Is JB Weld safe for steel?
Did i miss the part where you should clean the living hell out of the spot your about to apply it? :)

I'm surprised the bolt didn't get stuck in there as it was curing
Maybe it did. I don't know, I didn't take the bolt out! I am sure even if it did, it is no match for a wrench.
OVI-Wan Kenobi that's what I thought too!
Coat the bolt with shoe polish, it could of acted as a release agent and prevent that.

Nice job Matt
Would this type of fix work submerged in hot oil? Like inside an engine oil sump?
To use JB weld, ALL OIL needs to be removed from the surface of where the JB weld is going. After it dries though, it should be perfectly fine in an oil bath.

@@vaptube what products did you use to clean the oil off the pick up tube?
i have the same problem for my power stearing pump bolt hole but i dont have the missing piece
Will this work on a leaky boat to stop the leak?
I believe so! Worth a try I say. They make marine grade JB weld, so get that one.
Good video thanks for the post.
Was that transmission aluminum?
Yes
good stuff, thanks...

MattsMotorz I've already made the decision that I only wanna do this once. So I'll do it right the first time and use a HeliCoil.
Awesome
i only heard about jb weld so i didn't know how to use it
Not pretty but in an emergency a great product.
you should have really welded it !
Cast aluminum is difficult to weld, and I don't have the equipment to do it! (You need a TIG welder)
it's even harder to weld with a spool gun! tough to get penetration with spool gun on thick aluminum
No wayhosey :).. You will need to weld with alu stick bro. No other way sory..
