DennisThornton 4,769 #8 Posted February 21, 2016 There's a new ultra violet activated glue they claim will fix anything! I think you could present them with a good test! "Bondic, Repair Anything!" And I just bought a big roll of Gorilla Tape that I'm dying to try on something! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Sparky 526 #9 Posted February 21, 2016 Aside from every ones comedic efforts I think it's time to order some new parts. Although looking in you're base, it was at least time to change the oil don't you think. Good luck, I'm pulling for ya. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rod broke when it was at TDC and the crank continued to spin...Thought that was odd the spinning continuing! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you could present them with a good test! "Bondic, Repair Anything!" I bought two tubes of that stuff when it first came out. It is worthless for anything that requires any strength.

Ed Kennell 38,021 #17 Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) OK Ken, if your not sending the pieces for me to weld, this'll hold for another 2000 hours. Edited February 22, 2016 by ekennell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus only the areas exposed to the ultraviolet harden that rules out all but clear broken parts! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuneup 1,433 #21 Posted February 22, 2016 KC, Seems the luckiest of all engine failures involving the rod? If no crank pin damage, my, say a prayer or play the lottery or both! Yeah, compression not at issue so that flywheel tonnage will have her spinning a fair bit more if not under load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
