Try again, but use clay/wax to build an edge wall around/within the head to block the JBWeld from flowing away, then it would be as deep as the clay/wax/mould. Let it harden/dry, then machine it flat, as thick as a gasket, mount it and try again.

[@oceanwaves83]

That's a good idea. I've used syringes as well. One time in a pinch after screwing in some trim around a doorway (screws was all i had - not deck screws but too large for the job), i sunk them in a good 1/4 inch and thought about what i could use to fill the holes before painting. JB weld was all I had, but it would be too runny to stay in the hole. Once again I look around and all I really had was some flour. Mixed some flour in with the JB weld until it was more like a paste, filled the holes and flattened them with a hotel key card and it worked perfectly. After paint you can't tell how that trim is attached to the wall. JB weld is like duct tape when it comes to redneck engineering, only better! 😂

Aluminum can be tricky to bond to. It starts to develop a thin oxide layer immediately after you sand it. The JB Weld bonded to that oxide layer, and then that oxide layer is what separated from aluminum, making it look like there was no bond.

Speaking from experience! Wipe down the parts with acetone and use the original JB Weld. The first time I used it to repair a cast iron engine block in what was then a new 1989 Ford Fiesta. The car was hit in the front and snapped the rear motor mount out of the block and we didn’t notice it until the car was completely repaired and painted. A friend told me about JB Weld and I was skeptical af but tried it anyway! I let it set for a few days and filled the radiator with just water half expecting it to blow the triangle shaped piece out of the block. Nope it held and I drove it around for a couple weeks before selling it to a rural mailman who drove it quite literally into the ground! I talked to him when the car had over a 100k on it and he said it was still delivering the mail. Obviously not a cylinder head but still had lots of coolant pressure

[@mikehensley78]

@@Joebobinator thats awesome!

[@cpcassone]

I think what happened the very first time with the washers+JB weld Slow Cure can be explained by my theory that when they tightened down the head, some of the in weld oozed out into the combustion chamber. When it cures the head gasket becomes all one solid piece, and the blobs that extended out past the sealing surface into the cylinder are connected and part of that one giant solid piece of JB Weld. When the pistons move up and down they hit the portions that protrude into each cylinder causing chunks to break off or form cracks propagating into other areas of the head gasket. So basically anywhere on the entire engine where there are areas where JB Weld oozed out beyond the “sealing ring area” and protruding into the combustion chamber area, is a guaranteed failure point or weak spot. Or should I say…….A “Leak Spot” 😂

Side note: I have broken every vehicle I have ever attempted to work on...so take my advice with a whole lot of salt. I can fix guns without an issue, but I can screw up an oil change. By the way, I used JB weld to put bever tales on my Glock pistols, because the slide was always taking a hunk of skin out of my hand. It works great. One has a gray frame, it matched perfectly.

Ford guy here, I always wondered how to correctly rebuild the chebby bow tie stuff🔨. Gimme a coyote anytime❗

[@Bryy777]

Jb weld takes atleast 24 hrs to fully cure, probably a lil more with the amount yall used

[@nathanmiller6683]

22:03 and 29:49 "Hypotenuse" You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. 😂😂😂

[@travdripdrip382]

Taking that gasket out raised the compression. JB weld your engine and its + 15 HP. Lol.

[@Anvillius]

I think for your next experiment, you should slightly off centre all four wheels on the jallopy, see how many laps you can run before it shakes either itself or you too death

[@edsadventures3575]

James cooking up some bald eagles in the chef coat…. Hahaha

[@TriCountyMotorsEastman]

Next suggestion jb weld using the old gasket as a spacer. Put jb weld on both sides.

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

JB Weld means weld.. right? Same as welding just in a tube. Hell yeah brother.

This sorta stuff has gotta be giving poor ol' Steve Morris sleepless nights! "The SMX? Oh no, we never got that back Cleet. Musta got lost in the mail. Terrible shame...." 😂

[@danielhill8570]

Gotta apply it like a screen print by using a negative of the head gasket and then blob and scrape the JB across the unit

[@thomasvalenti1753]

Have to do an all ATF fluids vid. From the washer fluid to the oil all ATF lmao

[@MyK6Gixxer]

Man who else misses almost daily videos?????? Sucks they broke at Sick Week but damn…..can we get some content back on the regular schedule please?!?! Let’s see some helicopter updates, RC crashes, hell………George being George

[@Drengi_To_Go]

i think a good scuffing on the block to get good contact and al layer on both head and block and then clamp it together would be much better - use the long setting stuf and let it harden a bit before clamping down the head

[@slopoke22]

The fact it made a full rip with no headbolts. Wow. Ive fixed so much stuff with jb quik. Prep is everything. Literally blocked 2, 2in holes on a radiator endcap. Stronger than the rest of the radiator now

[@mdcobra001]

Cleetus! Next experiment, EDF TURBO!! Fit an RC jet EDF unit in the intake!! Use a servo tester mounted to TB to adjust EDF speed!!! Lets GOOOOOO!!! 12s????

[@Daniel-vh9lg]

Now that would be interesting. Brushless or gas?

[@mdcobra001]

That would be electric! I’d put the EDF unit as well as the ESC in the intake tube an let er rip!
