Title: cylinder head
Post by tater on 05/28/06 at 21:55:53

Just turned 20 g on my savage and i noticed i
have a small pin hole leak and a couple of
stress cracks starting. Any Ideas on how to
fix it. Its on the back right hand side of
the cylinder head. I was thinking of sanding
it a bit and using JB weld or something like that
to fix it any other ideas?

Some pictures will help. The only oil leaks so far have been either from the famous plug , either from the sealant between the head cover and the head.
JB weld is OK to fill some cracks, but not to cary a load. If the aluminum is cracking, the JB weld will not hold. There should be a reason for any kind of cracks and You better find it because the things will get only worse.
