Default JB Weld On TB

Anyone use JB weld to plug up the pcv and coolant tube holes? I want to remove them.

why would you want to remove the pcv hose and you can just cut the coolant hoses off no need to plug them

I just bypassed the coolant tubes, with a little piece of tubing. Left the connections on the TB open. Its just a straight-through tube so I would even worry about it.

With the PCV, just pick up a rubber vacuum cap, and call it a day.

I've done it. Prep is key, got to get the channels clean
and rough. I did the JB-Weld in two stages. First was
just a thin layer painted over the walls and foil dams
I made to keep the glue from traveling; second was for
the fill. Overnight 200F bake in between steps.

Now the coolent boss, I just cut off entirely with a
hacksaw to give more room for the bypass tube.

The PCV nipple can be removed easily, put a #2
Philips up it and twist it back & forth to draw it out.
