I posted pics for another discussion, so might as well spread some
weirdness
here too. I didn't have access to a TIG welder at the time, or funds to
pay
someone.
I actually JB welded an aluminum cyl head on my Datsun truck. It
corroded
as the PO had never changed the coolant, and it undermined the metal ring
under the headgasket, allowing the gasket to blow. The hole didn't
actually
enter the combustion chamber. I figured i would junk the truck rather than
buy a head, so i used a spot-blaster to clean the metal, epoxied it and
filed it smooth. It's been 4.5 years and still holding. I wouldn't have
believed it, and would never have tried it on someone else's engine.
