He already said it was a temporary fix until the new piece comes through in his first post.
Maybe a little more awareness of Dlampe's past work is in order before any admonition starts. |

If you have an issue with an opinion I expressed in the oil filter thread, which you obviously do, I would be happy to talk with you back there instead.
I have seen Deans cars up close and talked with him about such.
McDoo obviously has not, thus my comment.
But I bet if he so desires McDOO can speak up for himself. |

I saw that, but serious damage can result in mere seconds. Better safe than sorry and yes it can happen in seconds on a dyno also 
Long live the Cobra!!

I see your point to a degree. You are right about how a dyno can trash a motor in a flash.
Having used the stuff in different situations and as already stated its a suction line, I would have confidence in the material. |

Actually the suction side of the oiling system would be worse than the pressure side. Think about it...pressure side=big oil mess and drop in pressure. Suction side possibly sucking air creating a froth...no pressure drop but still a lack of lube doing damage while the gauge reads normal.
JB weld is a temp fix to limp home and get it fixed right!
Long live the Cobra!

The scavange side of a drysump system is designed to suck air, usually around 4:1 air to oil.

I could be wrong but I have witnesses. Also to add a clamp to the outer or inner stablier bar to stop the problem. Send a picture and size of space, I will try for the fix. I have some great friends for fixing problems, baling wire, expoxy, krazy glue, RTV, Hi-tac spray, string, vicegrips and my favorite BUBBLE GUM.
Rick L. Ps I hope the wife doesn't know that the motor was 15k on the right too.
