I have tried to JB weld this morning.
I need this car for my daily driving.
Lucky me I found JB weld in my stuff. (I haven't seen the product here, in general you can't buy anything here really, no auto parts stores nor internet, no hardware stores- it sucks)
First I drained the oil the sprayed brake cleaner in the pan- yes I could see the cleaner run right through the crack, dirty black from the diesel oil. Crack is about 2" long.
I used a rough file to prepare for JB weld. I also prepared a patch in Aluminum (cut an aluminum pipe open and formed the patch)
I had no vacuum unfortunately. Is a great idea but I have no pump working right now.
I hope 10 times of flushing with brake cleaner will do the job.
The stuff is hardening right now as I write. I can just hope that the pan is tight.
Here are pictures starting with the cracked pan, then perp work and finally the repair with JB weld and aluminum patch.
Thanks, Martin
