scroll down to the super-hi-temp metal reinforced putty
cast iron/stainless steel, 2000* F, can handle fuels/solvents and can conduct heat...I think we have a winner <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
That may actually hold <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Re: might try sealing leaky dynatech collectors with ----> you know, nobody has ever really commented on the way i sealed mine. they DO NOT leak. i cut the collector right where the primaries slide in and welded each one to the collector. then cleaned up the welds with my dremell. then i welded the collectors back together and got some high temp ceramic paint and repainted at the welds. looks like new and they dont leak.
Re: might try sealing leaky dynatech collectors with ----> Only problem I see is if the stuff is very hard. If it is, it may crack from the engine movement and vibration. It's worth a try though!
