Leaky Intercooler
I had a guy give me an IC core, I welded up some end tanks and put it all together. It looks great. Then I pressure tested it and it leaks. The sad part is I can't get in to weld where it's leaking. It's leaking where the core meets the tank(not what I did) so I need some sort of epoxy or sealant to seal it up. Anybody know of a good alum. epoxy or does J-B weld make anything for alum.? I know it's not ideal, but it's going to be a 7 lb setup and I'd like to at least try and seal it before scrapping it.
Thanks

devcon liquid aluminum.....
it's about $40 for a 1lb. container
the good thing about this stuff is: that if you ever want to put block posts in, this is the stuff you use to seal it up ***2 birds, 1 stone***

Re:Leaky Intercooler
Because I would have to start from scratch again, and I have a hard enough time finding the time to do this stuff in the first place. It's a lo-buck, HMT setup. I am not going to systematically take the IC apart and rebuild it, it just doesn't make sense. Should I? yes of course, I do believe in doing things the right way. But to reweld everything would take more time than it's worth, I'd rather chuck it in the garbage and start with a better core.
