Thanks guys,
I posted on dragbike last night before I posted here. No answers yet.
I'll call around but I know what I'm gonna hear.
LazerMike responded to my mail about me being leary of using JB on my head. He said he uses it all the time and has never had trouble. HE also said he'd weld it if that's what I wanted. I thought that's what I said when I had to leave it for a week. Something like, "yeah it's right there in the bowl, you should be able to reach that with the TIG pretty easily."
