Re: Spot weld aluminum throttle body?
I am a firm believer in JB WELD. So much so, that I get ribbed about it at werk.<br />But the stuff is really good. MARINE TEX, another two part epoxy is very strong, but I dont know how it would hold-up to heat.<br />But I do know JB WELD, when completely cured, (24hours) is impervious to heat below 1000*F, and fuel and solvents.<br />I think it will werk for you. But don't use "JB QUICK". This is a 2part that cures in less time. It cures funky,and unevenly.<br /><br />If you can remove this part from the intake,isolate it, a good machine shop can repair the damage.<br />But as Hondon said, don't try it mounted. There are also computer concerns if welded on the motor. Computersed ignition systems fry quickly. The Fleet maintainance boys where I werk fried my GMC's OIC,and the current regulator on the generator of the truck I operate. An honest mistake,but a costly one.<br />BTW, JB WELD Would've repaired the damage they welded perminently
<br />Good luck.
