MACKAZ Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Im doing a cosmetic reuild on my old mans DR250, anyhow one of the engine mount bolts had seized in the motor and a local bike shop told me to heat up the offending case around it to get it out, which didnt work. (Ended up CUTTING the frame to get the motor out) But now the motors leaking oil from the casejoint. JB Weld looks like a viable option according to the internet, bike is getting traded in so dont want to spend $$$$ getting it fixed. So anyone on here used it to oil in??? Thanking you with much.

Yowzer Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Slang for Americans - as septic tank rhymes with yank, but Americans are also full of shit like septic tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poo Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Ive used it in bottom end of my Vespa. Specifically in the transfer ports. So the JB Weld now gets covered in two stoke gas. Its been in there for about 10 years! To prep the surface I just cleaned the area with isopropyl alcohol, then score the surface to give the JB something to key into. Then more isopropyl. Mix and apply the JB. File and sand the JB. POP A WHEELIE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sr1600 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Used it in my sr20 gearbox in the datsun to block up some of the holes and hopefully stop the oil transfer problems the s13 gearbox has. (hopefully the oil isnt breaking it down) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I patched a crack in my headers once with some. Lasted a week but i did fuck all prep work - had to chip it off with a hammer still so must be pretty tough stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
