Im just not sure if the end tanks are welded up and then after being welded and cooled, soldered/brazed/pressed onto the core tubes. I really know nothing about how there constructed and its hard to tell by looking at it. I cant imagine the tubes are all individually welded to the endplate thats...

I have a Tig and am fully capable of welding the bung, like I said that's easy. The worry is the construction of the core. Whether the amount of heat applied to the end tank in the process of welding the bung will have any effect on the structural integrity of the core to maintain the seal of...

Well with the stress of heating and cooling of a radiator I'd rather TIG weld the bung to the end tank. I don't know if I would trust that durafix stuff.

Anyone ever weld on an aluminum radiator? Im fed up with the terrible petcock on the Mishimoto radiator i have. I bought a 1/4NPT bung and a regular brass petcock and i want to weld the bung to the bottom of the radiator, but then i started thinking about the construction of the radiator...

Going to be running a Fuelab 41402 in black and controlled by the 8860 with PWM.

Yea I would have gone copper but can't seem to find them anywhere.

If I were you I would weld it, preferaby TIG. I wouldn't really trust any sealant on something like that.

Ill be ordering these: http://m.summitracing.com/parts/rus-683920 in a few days. Stat-o-seals look promising for a drama free seal. One on the inside and one on the outside should be plenty good for sealing the bulkhead fitting. And the aluminum portion means ill be able to make the fitting...

Problem is that im sealing a bulkhead fitting to the bottom of the tank. If it were just pipe threads it would be much easier. Im pretty sure the way i did it will seal but i just dont quite feel comfortable with the squishy teflon washers. Im on the hunt for copper washers. Ill be able to...

Haha ofcourse. You always have exactly what is needed for the task at hand Ian. haha What do you think of these? https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=3245 They come in 7/8's, Buna rubber seals that are ethanol/gasoline compatible. On top of that the aluminum is a...

i tried briefly looking for copper washers and cant seem to find any big enough to fit around a 10an fitting. I would need them around 7/8's ID maybe a touch bigger. I was thinking copper washers though. i want the fitting to be secure. I feel like when i try to tighten a hose end on it, i...

Going to give this stuff a whirl. First im going to try to test it by gluing two pieces of steel welding rod together with it and submersing it in e85 and see if it disintegrates. I spoke to permatex technical support and they claim it is alcohol/gasoline safe.

Hello, To all the adhesive gurus out there i need a solution. I drilled my fuel tank and installed a bulkhead fitting like so: I used ARP thread sealant and teflon washers that came with the fitting so install it in the hole. The problem is im not sure if i really trust it because it just...

But my wallet will hate me for a while.....:biglaugh:

Yea it does suck, but as much as it sucks, i have been thinking about going 2j for a while. I never really had an excuse untill now. Its just not worth it to dump a couple thousand in machine work into that motor when i can use a stock 2j and make the same power. The spun main bearing was kind...

Well just under two years later struggling with a transmission vibration that FINALLY got fixed, in the process the oil line from the oil pump to the block came apart and torched a maing bearing causeing it to spin in the block. Block is a paperweight now. :cry: In other news im...

Yea i have the bc 272 cams and the BC springs and retainers. I was just wondering as i cant seem to find much information on whether shimless is necessary or not. I have seem IJ posted that above 9mm lift it is required but the BC's are only around 8.5, i didnt know if that was close enough to...

Do the BC 272 cams require shimless buckets in a 7m? Im going to hopefully finally get around to installing mine soon.

Could the OP please re host the pictures in the thread, they seem to be expired or lost. Thanks, Dan

Yea I'm not sure the size of the contact patch of the "rib" but it works. Ill be pulling everything back out to go threw the motor and do some head work before I convert to e85 and get one of those sweet billet turbos. Ill get some pictures of the machine work then. It feels so good to get...
