[SEL] Fairbanks Morse ZD Head Repair Information Needed

[Orrin Iseminger]

I know of several successful JB-Weld repairs in the combustion chamber.  My
son repaired the pits in the cylinder of a 3 h.p. F-M and it has held up
just fine for years.  He's even run it on kerosene.  

A well respected tractor mechanic in our area repaired the wrist pin gouge
with JB-Weld in a Rumely Oil Pull he restored.  It is holding up just fine.


I've also read stories in GEM about similar combustion chamber repairs.  

Regards,

Orrin

So many projects.  So little time.

Snip

I don't think that JB Weld can be used in the combustion  area 
because of the temperature.
Has anyone faced this type of problem?  If so, how did you  attack the 
problem?
