JB Weld question
 

Any one ever used JB weld on a turbo manifold? My manifold has some very small areas where where i can see light come through looking into the collecter. I know it is only rated for 500 degrees but i wondered if anyone has had any good/bad results doing this. The gaps are probobaly less than a millimeter but i dont want to have any leaks.
I searched and did not find any topics on this.

are you smoking crack? why not just take it to get welded, turbo manifold get as hot as 1600 degress if 800 degrees paint burn off jb weld will also

so no it wont work

Re: JB Weld question
 

yeah, it burns at 600 degrees the quick dry ---- burns at 300 degrees. i once drove a car with the oil return jb'd... ill never do it again. just get it real welded

BUT the JB WELD work for the oil pan

holy ----, i didnt think that it would get that hot. I guess i'll stop being lazy and go get it taken care of.
Thanks :6

The lesson that i have learned and it has taken me about 5 years to learn is that it pays to do things right the first time, but than again this is HMT.

Yes the manifodl will get THAT hot. I have seen 1200 degree paint burn off turbos and headers. JB weld wont hold up.

Ive used the permatex cold bond on a header flange leak and it sealed the gap for a good 2 months until I swapped headers, I think it was only rated to 600 degrees to but it seemed to work

maybe because it was on the flange and had more room to get rid of the heat

for a turbo manifold I would definetely get it welded, wont cost you more than $50
