use an epoxy similar to marine tex epoxy. it's available at boat shops and
request the dark gray stuff. they make 2 colors of it. the stuff can be
drilled and tapped or used to repair cracked engine blocks. withstands
high heat! we used the stuf fto fix a hole in a race car's block where a
rod hit the block and punched out about a 1" square hole. the engine
survived the next weekend and final failure was not the epoxy! it was a
broken lifter breaking the cam and dropping the cam piece dropping into the
rods/ crank that finished it off permanently.
chuck.
