jb weld ?

[mudslayer2008]

 can you jb weld a piston   do you think it would hold   it is just alittle part of the side at the top.

[Crazymays77]

it might work but would not do it cuz it gets really hot in there and i dont think jb weld its made for high heat. just my thoughts.

[Mudbuster]

won't work don't even try it

[Bowtie972]

I wouldnt try it.  Better off changing the piston,

[TBigLug]

I second all above stated opinions!

[the harvester]

i will third fourth and fifth all of the above opinions for the price of one piston i dont know why you would even consider it

[Bo Duke]

na it will be fine...lol run it!

can't find a piston and summit wants $238.00 for one. probally wont try it but, it was a thought what can I say i'm a redneck tech.
      by the way it is for a 460 bbf if anyone has one.

the ones that r open on saturday's don't have anything.  I was hoping to get this done and running this weekend.  If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all.

go to  a local engine shop and try there dont pay the money summit wants someone has got one cheaper i promise

[Kodiak450r]

you can buy a brand new piston from summint for like 50 bucks i found one here http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=TRW-L2404F30&autoview=sku

thanx I'll want to check around locally first, but I got the $238.00 out of the summit book a budy gave me must have been hi-performance or something.

You could try tig welding the old one...that would depend on what is exactly wrong with it. If it just has a little chunk out of the top I would try it and then machine the weld with a dremel tool or something.

Not saying u cant but be careful if u do, u might throw the whole motor out of balance and just rattle it self apart again....

[mudslayer2008]

a buddy just called me I can get a new oem replacment for $29.00 + tax on monday.

so does n  e  one know about how much it cost to have a wrist pin pressed out and put in a new piston head

[Crazymays77]

shouldnt be that muxh to do that i would say less than 20 bucks

[Bowtie972]

I wouldnt put it on a piston but JB weld will hold to Exhaust heat.   I filled the A.I.R. injection ports on a Exhaust manifold on  my sisters old Bonneville with JB weld , let it set up 24 hours, worked for years with no leaks.

[Bowtie972]

It was a 400 Pontiac motor , it put out alot of heat and it did last a long time!
