Having modified my LCB I have a couple of small under cuts inside it, rather than dick about welding, grinding and making the pipe thinner what do you guys think about smoothing them out with chemical metal?
If its used for repairing broken through cylinder head ports it should be OK shouldnt it?

I seriously doubt it!

Hi

Ive just used it oon the supercharger casing on my build and it seems to be pretty solid, i guess as long as its got somthing to stick to and its mixed thoroughly it should be fine.

just my tuppence worth

The difference between the LCB and the head port is the operating temperature. The port, being cooled by the water, will run considerably cooler than the LCB.

The exhaust gas temperature will run the LCB without any cooling at several hundred degrees hotter than the head.

What is the temperature limit of the "chemical metal"?

Youd have to find the thermal expansion of it as well.

Or run a water cooled lcb.

In boost we trust

Chemical metal in Cylinder head ports? Now thats something I have never considered being possible.

Out of interest are we talking inlet or exhaust ports?

Reminds me of the time that guy used chemical metal to de-seam his car. As he drove of the low curb from his drive the whole thing fell apart. I'm sure it was a letter in Mini World years ago, some guy complaining that chemical metal was being mis-sold!!

I can remember one line went something like.

"pulled forwards out of the drive and down the slight kerb, heard a bang and found myself sitting 6 inches lower"

Oh how I wish I still had the magazine.
