Using JB Weld on Exhaust Manifold ?????
Has anyone ever used JB Weld on an exhaust manifold?
I am doing some exhaust work and for some reason the studs came out of the manifold rather than the brass nuts coming off. (I thought that was strange). Anyhow, I decided to replace the studs and nuts while I was at it. There are 3 of them. Two worked fine, the 3rd will not hold in the manifold. Apparently the threads are bad. Changing the manifold is not an option. However, what if I JB Weld it in? I know JB Weld is good, but is this too hot for it to work? Has anyone ever done it? One other thing. I used some anti-sieze on all threads. What can I use to remove it before I use the JB Weld (if I do)? I dont think it will hold good to that stuff. Will carb cleaner remove it? Thanks Mark *Damn I hate working on exhaust systems* |

Drill it out and install a helicoil. |

I've used PC70 a lot, and I patched a little pot with it, then boiled water, forgot and boiled out all the water, and that continued to work. |
