I've used it several times and it has always worked including:
1. Repaired an aluminum oil pan on a BMW that had hit a rock.
2. Repaired a plastic gas tank on my chipper shreader
3. Repaired worn out holes in the wooden legs of a chair where the casters go.
4. More but that's enough - worked on aluminum, plastic, and wood.

Not exactly free, our PNP charged $15.00.

the one on my old engine was crack free with 331000 mi until the timing chain whacked it.
Now that was stress.

You obviously picked a good epoxy but for other folks who might not know all epoxies are not the same. For mechanical stuff be sure to use an epoxy that states good for temps up the 250 degrees F or at least has High Temperature on the box (I like JB Weld but Duro also makes a good one).

Epoxy probably costs almost that these days!

I would call that a bit of stress! Anything left of the engine?

Timing chain broke at 65mph, then towed it home 500 miles. pulled the valve cover and the first cam tower was broke off at the bottom, and the second one was broke off just under the cam shaft. the rear most rocker was twisted around towards the rear.
pulled the head and #1 and #5 piston took a really hard whack by the valves, the others hit some also.
with the milage I decided metric motors was the way to go.

I too suffer from this same problem

I have a valve cover from an om602 and it does not suffer from this issue... I wish I could get a 60x series valve cover to fit.. I like how they look
