Wanted some opinions on using JBweld on the waterpump housing. I am specifically talking about the section right below/around the thermostat. I am installing a water temp sensor and unfortunately miss placed it twice... I have the right place tapped now but I stuck some stick JBweld in the other two holes.

Just curious if that is not worth risking it from experience? Hate to try and find another one if that is a solid fix.

Thanks

 

i don't think jbweld would be that bad on the waterpump housing since i've seen it used in MUCH worse places that it's held up fine surprisingly. a couple better ideas would either be to tap the other wholes and cap them with a bolt or to weld them shut.

 

Just get it welded. Like, actually welded...

JB weld doesn't hold up well when in contact with coolant and fuel.

 

The machine shop did not want to weld it... So, I ordered some NTP plugs and thread sealer. I didn't even think of that so thanks!
