Did it end on the page with the pressure testing, or was there more somewhere else that I missed? John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

Sometimes the problem with repairing blocks and heads is a subsequent disparity in temperature related expansion and contraction between the new metal and the old metal. |

JB Weld is a common solution just about everywhere I think. I can tell you it definitely is prone to the expansion/contraction problem. Most of the JB weld fixes I've seen eventually start leaking again. |
