Tom, That is good news. I think you will be okay and mine was just sitting too long and maybe too much water (distilled) with 50/50 mix. His was spitting out the pin holes only when pressurized. Luckily I had an extra crossover pipe to send him at the time. I am going stainless from Phil. When I move back this will be my last before retiring so no more sitting Z and then some......

Someone just mentioned to me that the JB Weld will eventually break off from the repair area in the future and cause problems.....as you can see...the area circled is the repair area I sanded down after taking this pic....I can drill it out and round off that area...and just leave it opened without the JB Weld.....as it will be covered by the hose down to the straight line shown...as we all know....which won't be leaking when attached...
Any thoughts on using the JB in the cooling system???

Should be no problem if it's on the outside.

It may be a problem as it is on the outside and the inside so the JB Weld would be exposed constantly to the coolant....I do have a spare coolant pipe which is in very good condition...so looks like....that is the way to go....

So the learning experience continues.....here is a pic with the JB removed from a few minutes ago....I was under the impression that when cured....it would hard as a rock...I was wrong.. just used a simple pick and it is now removed....this is the hole....in
Pic #1....
This is the spare in Pic #2.... that I just cleaned up again and it is the exact location as the pipe with the hole in it....I know....I know...use the spare....but how else do you learn without trying....I'm still determined to get the original in working order...but will end up using the spare....[emoji16][emoji16]20210426_162918.jpg20210426_162817.jpg
