[alfa] Welders, Cylinder liner seals, JB Weld

[Kevin Trent <trentkc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I missed the chance to contribute anything unique on the welder 
discussion.  I was also late to respond and other digesters have confirmed 
the techniques I use when reinstalling liners, e.g. stock seals with a bit 
of RTV, and using JB Weld to fill pits in the sealing/mating area of the 
block when necessary.

My latest application of JB Weld was on the muffler can on a Ansa 
tailpipe.  In typical Ansa fashion the pipes and tips were in excellent 
shape, and even the can was 95% good.   The bad 5% was a rust hole below 
the exiting pipe on the muffler endcap.  I used my Lincoln 110v wire feed 
welder to weld on a patch plate and then used JB weld to cover the weld and 
seal the few small leaks.  The epoxy has lasted for months and shows no 
sign of deterioration, and the muffler is still leak free.
