I have a VAC that someone has patched the block behind the carb. The JB Weld is starting to flake around the edges. Can I grind the block in the crack into a V shape and then fill good with JB Weld again ?? Or any other suggestions ?? Does not leak into engine yet.

I like muggyweld. Easier than brazing, more permanent than epoxy.

Have you welded overhead with muggyweld?
I have a crack in my 830 transmission housing.

Geo:

No, I have not. I have always made it a point to have the part on the table so I can use my rosebud torch for heat up and cool down.

You might e-mail them. The folks there were very helpful to me.

You could JB weld it, or stick weld it with nickle rod. Or you could put some sort of sheetmetal patch over the crack. Our VAC has the crack in that location, my dad welded it, and no leaks since then.

Luckily, all the cracks I've seen are on the outside- so it shouldn't leak into the engine itself. It seems that nearly every VAC I've seen here in the freezing north has a busted block-right behind the carb!
