I'd JB Weld that in a heartbeat. Use the Aluminum JB Weld. If for some reason it doesn't work (and I can't imagine......I've JB Welded engine covers and side cases that have held for YEARs with no issues), find somebody who can weld it. You can tig that withought even taking it apart.OK, put in the new water pump. Shoot, old gasket leaking oil. OK, so pick up some gasket paper and make a new gasket. No more oil leak, fill the rad. Hmmm.... why do I hear running water? Look down and there is a big puddle forming under the bike. The left hand side that leads from the water pump to the left hand case cracked at the nub for the bolt.:X So now I either need to try to fix this or need the left had case for an 1100.
James, banging head on desk, HARD
:cooldj::doh::cheeky1::coollep:I pressed it in, & rubbed, & pressed, & rubbed, & pressed, & rubbed, & pressed, & rubbed, & pressed, till my thumb & fingers got sore.
my $0.00002 (after tax)worth :shock:
I would do what Biker John said,at leastget it welded.If it were my bike I'd go for a new part, or at least have it welded.
Ah ****, now I have beer in my keyboard.:cheeky1:jb weld can be a savoir or a pia, hard to weld with that crap in your crack.:cheeky1::cheeky1::cheeky1::cooldevil::action::waving:
Did you give it a couple of days to harden before you added water and started it up?Well, JB failed to fill and hold the waters back. Time to pull the engine again and take it to the welder to have it done.
