How do I repair this chip with out a welder? As you can see it is on the very edged where to surfaces mate together. I know a welder would be preferred, but my mig is not set up for aluminum. I also am on a very tight budget and an even tighter time frame. So tearing the engine down and taking the case to a machine shop is not much of an option either. Other than JB Weld what can I do?

To prevent future problems, just find someone who can tig weld it. Spending the extra money is well worth it!

Yeah JB or that quick weld epoxy thats in a tube you have to mash and mix together. Its really thick and you wouldn't have to worry about it dripping or anything. I've actually got half a tube of it in my toolbox but I'm not sure if its still good anymore or not. When it is good though, it works very good. Better then JB in my opinon. Its to bad your so far away, i could tig weld that and have it smoothed back flat where you couldn't even tell in an hour tops.

That is what I would prefer to have done. But I was hoping to have it assembled before the rumble in a week. I have been out there trying to get the rest of the engine put together, but I have to order some parts. It looks like it will be staying home now. If you do no tmind I can load it up the next time we head your way and we can repair it then.

jb stick.
jb is good stuff as long as you follow the directions and sand and torch the surface. until I started doing those two steps I didn;t have great luck. even cleainging the surface with acetine prior.

There is stuff out there called magna steel. It's like a two tone playdoo stick that you have mush together. It does wonders on anythin from aluminum to plastic and fiberglass. Alot easier to work with than jb weld. it's also gas and oil resistant. I've used and recommended this stuff alot and it's never let me down.

Yeah MTS, thats like what I was talking about. You've seen and used it too I guess. I'd use that over JB myself. I think its like $4-5 a tube and a whole tube will actually do quite a bit.

How about a piece of rubber held in with the cover? JB may not hold there, I used it inside my 250R engine and the oil attacked and softened it.
