Jb weld becomes brittle at high temperatures, I would trust that less than I would the insert itself. You dont remember what happened to the original JB weld sleeve guy's motor?

Go search the archives for information on 6 ports or sleeves, or do a general search using the function up by the red featured car on the right corner of your screen.
IT's too big of an explanation to get into in this thread (trying to keep it on topic), but suffice to say theyre a variable intake for more top end power. IT's a hollow cylinder with a hole cut in one end that rotates to align with a port in the engine allowing air to enter the extra port.

If you take off the lower intake manifold, there will be 2 round cylindrical inserts that slide into ports in the end housings. The sleeves are hollow and are open on one side near the tip. When below ~3800RPM, the closed side of the sleeve is facing inward, so that no airflow makes it to the engine. Once you hit ~3800rpm or so, your auxillary port actuators pressurize, and rotate the sleeves so the open part faces in, allowing more airflow into the engine. The Pineapple inserts are curves, fitting into the stock sleeve to allow a better transition of airflow..
Hope I explained that well...

No, I figured sources close to him on this and other forums/lists would apprise him of the situation. The times I have emailed him I have gotten no response in the past.

No ****. Well, everytime I have personally tried loctite (red) on a smooth surface, it doesnt seem to do quite the job I would like. Perhaps it is the answer for this problem though.
BTW, you guys might want to keep a check on the sister thread to this post on the FC3S forum at http://www.teamfc3s.org/forum/showth...threadid=14253
A source close to PR has posted and a resolution is in the works, it appears.

For those of you too lazy to read the other thread on TeamFC3S, Rob's preferred method is Green Loctite, as per Blake Qualley's post.
Instructions are soon to be posted on PR website.

I have the PR insets, I cleaned them very well, And when I went to PR Rob installed them for me, he put some red loctite and then peened(sp) the insets for further protection from them falling in, red loctite works good for this application. And if you want to can rough up the mating surfaces of the insert and sleeve to get a better hold.
