ssbanshee Posted May 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 there is no way that a piece went into the bottom end to weird of a shape i think> So should try so jb weld and just see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANDSTAR Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 It really depends on what kind of bike you have. If you have a beater that will need a rebuild sometime in the future, JB it for now and get it welded when you tear it down. If you have a show piece, get it welded now. Nothing like seeing a pimp ride with some jb hanging off of the case. As for the coolant in your oil, I doubt it is coolant. Your oil would drain out foamy white if your oil had coolant in it. Probably just fresh oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbanshee Posted May 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 now this is no small hole it is like the size of a pea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshees and beers Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 I would JB it this season, and come winter tear it down and get it welded. JB is just fancy glue, and I have learned you can never fix anything permantly with glue. You can build shit with glue, but not fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock_fuzzy_69 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 depending ont he size shape and location of the hole i would drill it out to a clean round hole and tap it put a socket cap set screw in it with soem loctite to seal it up with if you use an old half worn out tap it will be a night tight fit between the threads or use a pipe tap and tap it for say a 1/8 inch pipe plug i dont see why this wouldnt work just fine depending ont he location of the hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANDSTAR Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Good idea except it would introduce fine shavings of aluminum into the case. It would only work if you tore the motor down. If you tore the motor down, you might as well spend the $20 and get it TIG welded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANDSTAR Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 a $20 case saver would have saved the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
