Crankcase front bolt

<< < (3/3)

Bryanj:
If you have the piece glue it back in as ther is no pressure there, if not try Devcon F ( i think is the alloy one) used it in the merchant navy and never found anything better, i believe its a sit down before checking price though.

Used Devcon a fair bit when I worked at the Nuclear site. May be expensive but you wont find anything better. Not sure how well it stands up to constant expansion and contraction though. May break out again in time, have had it happen on a compressor before now. I would TIG weld it carefully then grind it back. Do you know a good reliable welder with a good TIG set. Will need to be an AC/DC set with pedal control at least,  and a bit of skill behind it.

I use industrial epoxy resin  filled with aluminium powder to make a paste/putty. PM me your address and I will send you enough to re-bond the broken bit or build up the damage.
If you look inside old Honda crankcases (750K0 for e.g.) Honda actually used very similar stuff to blank off inside the castings in production in the 60's/early 70's. We have Decon at work but to be honest I prefer my own stuff. I also use ceramic powder filler which is rock hard when it cures, I will send you a bit of that too. I can only spare a bit of the aluminium powder though 'cos I am waiting to get some more. Don't want anything for it.
