I ground a hole in my intake port. (I know, dumb stunt) Anyway, will JB Weld fix it? Or is there something better available at my local auto parts store that will fix it? If there is nothing readily available locally that will do, what will I have to get? Oh, it's an aluminum head. Thanks!

I had my sons Eddy head runner welded were we put a small hole in it but it was very hard to get at so we used this metal epoxy from Manley and put it over the weld. Ron

Thanks for the replys. I'm relieved that I am not the only one who has done this. I was being real careful, BUT I was trying to get the last little bit out and............. Anyway, there is a shop here in town that said they can weld it up. I'll drop it off Monday. Thanks again.

If you broke through to the head bolt area in the intake ports, they make sleeve kits for this. Or, just put silicone under the washer and on the threads. This will stop the oil too.

I have to tube my one W-5 head, trying to get more out of it I got thin in one of the bolt area's, so I need to get a tube in there. I didnt see it at first and was feeling the port and I thought I felt a bump at that point and for some reason I pushed on that spot and it blew thru... glad I found it then
