Is there any to fix a small hair line crack next to the bolt hole or am i gonna end up just throwing it out. I guess i overtightened it, its not leaking much but if you sit there long enough you can see it seep out of the crack

 

Have you tried cleaning it up real well then putting some JB weld on it?

Not sure I can picture where it is leaking from. May be good to post a picture on your page.

 

I had a leak on mine too, cracked on the side by the case saver. Took it off cleaned all the oil off, roughed it up with 80 grit, smeared J-B weld on the inside, hasn't leaked a drop since.

 

Is that your secerets CrazyPainter...JBWELD...I bet you got some jbweld on top of that piston to make it have more compression huh!!!

BTW We are going to be one DS short from now on. Ray is moving to Delaware in a few weeks. I tried to get him to leave me the DS but he says he is going to take it mudding over there.

SO tell Doug To get to practicing racing He has to pilot mine this year at snake hunt!!!LOL Hope he can handle a 40 shot out of the hole....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

With Doug on it you'll still need more than that to beat me. LOL. Tell ray we'll miss him.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Yeah...well you know...I do use woods stuff. And you know how Crappy all his stuff is. Mine just might be able to keep up with stock one this year when I get done with it for snake hunt.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Your doin a 40 shot now? Im sure well be able to keep the ds's in front even without ray. It wont be the same without him

 

Yea a 40 shot. It is going thru some motor and chassis work right now. Should come out of the hole real heard when it gets dialed in. Your going to have to make some passes on it to get used to it!!LOL[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Yea it wont be the same without ol Ray. Thats to bad to. He was in the process of dropping about 4500 into his....Now he needs that money for a rain suit....LMAO

 

yes sir crazypainter, mine is in the same place, the bolt hole right beside the casesaver has a crack. got the jb weld and im gonna fix her in the morning. how long does it take it to cure?

 

I had several small cracks around 3 or 4 bolt holes and I finally gave up and just bought a nice used cover - problem solved. Good luck
