anyone heard or had a casting hole in their k04s? i recall their being an issue in the past but couldnt find anything on search. specifically i have a pinhole in the passenger pipe thats audible and visible during a pressure test.

any recommendations for a high temperture sealant that can be used until the pinhole can get professionally welded?

Man, I think you have the worst luck ever.

jb weld it (steel putty i think it's called ) .. u sure tho' ?

the pinhole is visible and you can put your finger over it and feel the airflow which ceases as soon as you cover it with your finger.

with the passenger wheel removed we have a direct view of the hole however so it seems access with a welder shouldnt be an issue. so no need to pull everything out again which is good.

think the jb will hold or better to have it welded properly for the sure longterm fix?

Since it's at Neil's just have him weld it.

JB Weld... you can find it at Autozone, Discount Auto, etc... should be about $4

weld would be ideal ..but the putty stuff also works well .. i'd do the putty asap

think itll hold? im not getting a rich code so it cant be leaking too much

lemieux@curbside

just put the damn jbweld there, it will be fine i bet ya
make sure you spray it with break clean.. that steel putty still holds in my MBC bleed hole (for 2.5 years now)
