Re: Cracked head I've fixed a couple Model T water jacket cracks by veeing it out and smearing Permatex "The Right Stuff" in the veed crack followed by a piece of thin shim stock over it.
Works for me. |
Re: Cracked head Bob G/....great that you are using 'Right Stuff'.....a car builder cannot live without it, and very few people know about it. Another proof on how great this 'Stuff' is. I use it to hold and seal the window whiskers on the body..those original staples are impossible to use and the mini screws are a scary item to really hold as the window does it action. It's also made for sealing automotive electronics...no chemical discharge as in the silicones. It's originally made to replace gaskets, and even in using gaskets, smear a little on and guaranteed no leaks.

Re: Cracked head Thanks guys

Re: Cracked head Our auto shop teacher told us about fixing long freeze cracks by drilling and tapping through the crack at one inch intervals and installing machine screws; followed by one of the stop leak products. Machine screws installed in the cracks kept the two halves stable so the stop leak would hold. I would use Loctite on the screws and then grind off the heads for looks.

Re: Cracked head Robert D...thanks for the tip about using it on window whiskers.
I've had a hard time getting these things to stick on. I'll give it a whirl. |
Re: Cracked head Right Stuff is truly the best stuff iv ever used for gaskets and leaks.
It sealed a leaking Stromberg float screw / pin and has sealed the head studs (100 percent the first time) on the last 3 V8’s iv done. Iv put this out there many times and ton of people have there own ideas about what’s the best ... but their wrong. |
