I don't disagree. Even if you have to replace it occasionally it's a fine
solution.

Thats why I ran the boat up to operating temperature in the laneway
with the drive submerged, and let it cool down TWICE. If I can get the
season out of it, I'll rebuild another block this year and have it
ready.

As odd as this may sound, I know a guy who fixed the head of his IH
Super C tractor with JB Weld ten years ago and it still runs fine. :)

I've even seen a really good machinist machine a JB Weld fix.

It's pretty cool stuff.

I don't think it is a lot more work to just fix it with tapered cast
iron plugs and have done with it....

Agreed, but when you are in the middle of baling a 100 acre hay field
and thunderstorms are on the wx forecast, you do what 'cha gotta do
know what I mean? :)
