JB Weld is like a miracle product.. it can be used for anything:

"The rock in our yard would have made a nightmare out of digging post holes for a fence, so we used J-B WELD to bond wooden posts upright to an existing sidewalk. J-B WELD gave us a strong fence, saved hundreds of dollars, and many extra hours of hard labor!"

"My pickup threw a rod and tore a hole in the block. I plugged the hole with large washers bolted together and sealed it with J-B WELD. That was over 50,000 miles ago; still with no loss of oil. Thanks for a remarkable product!"

"I'm a welder by trade but find J-B WELD works better and easier on many jobs, like fixing the neck on my truck radiator. I wish other people knew how much J-B WELD could save them!"

See? How can you go wrong...?

I've got a couple of small holes in the exhaust manifolds from the air injection stuff breaking loose. Would a bit of JBWeld be strong enough to stop that annoying ticking noise? If not, is there any simple thing I could do (aside from replacing) that would work?
I JBWelded up my exhaust manifold in that exact spot about 5 years ago. It's still holding strong. Oddly enough I JB Welded some door handle parts inside the door of my wifes old Minivan at least 5 times.. Stuff kept braking and crumbling.. I even bought a few different tubes of JB Weld thinking I got a bad tube then a few bad tubes from a bad batch, but none of it would get as hard as it's supposed to. :confused:

I know when I had a leak at the front of the intake manifold..water. I removed the intake and found "bubble" inperfections from the casting..possibly causing the leak..same area. I prep'd the area and then used JB on it, let is cure and sanded smooth...whala...fix'd the leak and have no problem since! Hope this helps.
