Did mine works just fine for 6 months 😂 2" hole and cracks worse than this. Using aluminum patch works best with jb and epoxy over it, hard paint afterwards
I have used JB Weld on those corroded areas of an aluminum intake manifold, where the coolant just eats them up from years of seeping. Let it harden overnight, then hit with a flat file before installing a new gasket. JB (original) is good to over 500 degrees. A new manifold for a 4.3 Chevy was about $600 and several days out.... so this has worked well.... and still holding years later.
Many many years ago I was on a long trip with a friend. We stopped for gas and he forgot the kickstand. Bike fell over when he got off and the shifter punched a hole in the stator cover and all the oil ran out. It was Sunday and no bike shops were open. I bought a back of 10min epoxy and some masking tape. Took the cover off and glued it. We waited a half hour before filling the oil and leaving. It held and he had a window to see the oil level.
when I was young, I used to JB weld on everything , pex plumbing water leaks , hole in motorcycle tire, broke water bong, ... etc... pinhole on motorcycle gas tank 😂😂😂 I have evolved past JB Weld, but I still keep it on hand
Don’t yall think it would work better if he got a peice of steal to go across the hole with JB weld on each side leaving a rectangle steel piece |==| ⭕️ pulling it down so it can stick to the metal leaving two smaller holes on each side then doing it his way? Idk I feel like it would cap it in a way from each side rather then just jamming on one side
Not recommended but if you’re in a pinch and need to do something like this go get some sheet metal aluminum and some regular full strength jb weld and cut out a small circle with some shears and put a ring on the circle jb weld that to the oil pan then put another bead going around the circle on the outside and that will be much better than doing it this way
Probably could have used with saying it was intended as a temp fix just to see if the engine was any good. the video makes it sound like it was actually fixed and intended to be daily driven like that.
I daily drove a JB welded pan for years. Granted, I dropped the pan and JB welded the inside and outside cracks. Was a quick on hand fix to get me through the month to the next check, ended up lasting 4 and a half years before I actually destroyed the pan going over a nasty speedbump, the pan broke at a totally different point and the weld looked perfect inside and out.
Can I remove my lower oil pan withiut messing with the transmission ? I need to replace mine but I want to replace it myself if it’s easy on my Audi a4 2017

It's the cheap way to fix the oil pan, had no idea of the engine was good so no need to replace the pan, holds oil and doesn't leak a drop so it's a good temporary fix
I couldn't have said that any better myself this is the latest trend I been seen all over the Internet when will the algahythms catch on to what's going
you say that but not all oil pans are easy to remove , I have a dakota entire engine needs to lifted to get pan off , 800 dollar job, this fix will help you until you can afford do the job
It would be best to spend the $20 and get another oil pan. If you must use jb weld the gray is better. You should remove the pan and mushroom the inside like you did the outside. Then it would last
The jb water weld is specifically resistant to oil,gas and diesel where as the grey steelstik is not, ive used both and the waterweld works better and doesn't leak. Also a non oem mercedes oil pan is $120 and the main reason for this was the car sat over 15 years so was unsure of the engines condition or if it would run. It's a temporary fix or something that would work in a situation like this as the engine was in unknown condition
@@rotboyzgarage I drove an old Mercedes for years. Junkyard oil pan is easily obtained. My motorcycle was shot about 10 years ago and I used jb weld to fix. Would you like a picture. The key is smashing the inside like you did the outside. And I used the gray and it's still there. Say the word I'll shot you a photo.
Surprisingly the engine didn't have a blown connecting rod, first thing I checked through the hole with my bore scope, all rods looked good, jb weld and some oil and she ran decent
@Amanuel Wordessa th-cam.com/video/Lly6QruW6Jo/w-d-xo.html We got it running in this video, in the previous you can see the pan that's been jb welded, it ran ok for sitting like 15 years with a hole in the pan 🤣
Not a joke, car hadn't run in roughly 15 years so no reason to buy an oil pan if engine was trashed. Didn't leak a drop of oil and was able to get the engine running to see if it had a knock or any issues which could occur due to the hole in the pan
Should put a small piece of sheet metal over the hole and then JB Weld over that, this way the JB can't fail and wind up with pieces of it in your oil pan.
How can it fail I have a hole in my radiator (plastic part) and I covered it with jb weld the hole was about half the size of a dime and idk if I should put iton my car it was a new radiator that got a crack never been put on
Car sat for over 15 years and had no idea if the engine was good, do it was a temporary patch to hold oil before dumping money into something that may have had a knock or been bad
Use gloves then don't use gloves? I'm confused......I would definitely use something more abrasive for physical adhesion not, just relying on chemical adhesion
Only had so much time for the short for explanation, but when applying it the gloves tend to stick and pull at it vs help smear it into the material your working with so I will normally just use a finger to try and tap/work it in, but using gloves to mix it will eliminate like 85% of the mess you would have on your hands if you didn't wear anything
You would be surprised how long this stuff lasts when applied properly, had a pan like this for about 3 weeks on a vw tdi daily driven and it didn't leak any oil, it's a good temporary fix until you get a pan or for a woods beater
A new oil pan is the proper fix. This is a temporary fix to help someone get out of a bind. Ive broken oil pans in the woods before on rocks and this will let you get out of the woods and keep driving until you can get a new pan. Also this car was sitting for 20 years with a hole in the oil pan so no reason to buy an oil pan for something if you dont know if the motor is healthy or not
You should explain why you did this so people could understand why, that's what the description section is for. Or explain yourself in the comment section.
Couldn't fit the whole video in with the shorts time frame, but for mixing it I recommend using gloves so you don't entirely coat your hands in it, but when applying it tends to stick to the gloves to much and makes it hard to have it adhere right. So using your bar fingers I find you can tap/press and smear the edges into the metal and I have had good luck with this method
I recommend using a oil pan that doesn't have a hole in it 👍
😂😂😂😂

I’m a welder and I still use jb weld from time to time. its perfect to use on thin corroded metal
I think this 1$ fix will be fine since the oil pan is not pressurized.
JB weld eventually will not keep heat cycles the same way oil pan aluminum will
Someone has never heard of a PCV...

And as a plus, the oil changes itself. No more paying for oil changes for this guy
when I was young, I used to JB weld on everything , pex plumbing water leaks , hole in motorcycle tire, broke water bong, ... etc...
pinhole on motorcycle gas tank 😂😂😂
I have evolved past JB Weld, but I still keep it on hand
but never tried the water weld i should say

it's JB . It'll work good using their instructions
i dont know whats worse. the jb weld crap OR putting the jack stand on the paper thin floor pan.

Does it hold well with the high temperatures ?
Could this be used to seal a small leak on a power steering leak?
Can I remove my lower oil pan withiut messing with the transmission ? I need to replace mine but I want to replace it myself if it’s easy on my Audi a4 2017
Definitely would just buy a new pan, but do as you please
If its hit hard enough to have a hole it very likely cracked replace the pan and check the oil pickup too
Dzmn ! It worked?
Thanks to shorts everyone is a Master mechanic and will show you how to do things the wrong way
How long did it last until oil seeped out?
Still holding with no leaks

Don’t ever do this unless it’s an emergency repair to get the vehicle moved.
Is the repair still holding?
Yes
Good to hear! After watching this I’ve used the same in mine!
Just grab a oil pan in the junkyard. It's not like you're broke down in the middle of nowhere.

It's not 1972. Where can you get a $20 oil pan? I want to buy them all and resell them
U pull it junkyard for $20 u pull it & save $$$
@@lesliechung79 AND A MONTH LATER, RUST ALL OVER.
I’d spray something overtop at least just to seal a little better
They do this all the time at the BMW dealer….. after you zign ze paperz….!
Is this the oil pan who in a previous short just jabbed a screw driver through it
Should of used steel mesh with it
Yea now jb weld that connecting rod that made the hole in the first place and now your good
Surprisingly the engine didn't have a blown connecting rod, first thing I checked through the hole with my bore scope, all rods looked good, jb weld and some oil and she ran decent
@@rotboyzgarage having a hard time believing something put a hole from the outside with no dents ir markings around

We got it running in this video, in the previous you can see the pan that's been jb welded, it ran ok for sitting like 15 years with a hole in the pan 🤣
Just doubled the value of the car
I’m gonna have to do this until my next paycheck i hit a lump of ice that fell off of a vehicle that was in front of me
I have a crack in my oil pan. A oil pan for my '06 Kia spectra is $220.00 from O'Reilly's 😮
Replace the pan or weld it up that’s a hack way
not recommended! but it should hold up fairly well. 😅 so bit of a double edged sword
Either this is a joke or you are out of your mind. Replace oil pan
Not a joke, car hadn't run in roughly 15 years so no reason to buy an oil pan if engine was trashed. Didn't leak a drop of oil and was able to get the engine running to see if it had a knock or any issues which could occur due to the hole in the pan
@@rotboyzgarage Oh I thought this was a daily driver. My mistake
Exactly
Bro. Scab a piece of metal over the hole and bolt it to the pan. Use the JB weld for the seams...
Should put a small piece of sheet metal over the hole and then JB Weld over that, this way the JB can't fail and wind up with pieces of it in your oil pan.

I would have thought a new pan might be in order, but you do you.
(I’d never employ anyone who thinks this is a good idea)
Car sat for over 15 years and had no idea if the engine was good, do it was a temporary patch to hold oil before dumping money into something that may have had a knock or been bad
good thing you aren’t anyone’s employer tf lol
Why is the Jack stand on the floor board ????😂
Good enough
Just get a new oil pan…..
Put some bubble gum on top of jb welding. 😂😂😂
MiNt

Thats called a scratch or scouring pad. Thats not a brake pad sir
He said scotch brite pad… not brake pad😂
I think jb steel stick is better
Just buy a new pan
For a car that's already junk. Sure.
you say that, but not all pans come off easy with out lifing engine.
Ya should last bout 1 day. Nice fix
You would be surprised how long this stuff lasts when applied properly, had a pan like this for about 3 weeks on a vw tdi daily driven and it didn't leak any oil, it's a good temporary fix until you get a pan or for a woods beater
I would NEVER trust that 😅😅😅😅😅😅
he only had to trust it long enough to see if there was any other damage. (this is why you read other comments first)
Just replace it
What the hell did I just witness
Bad idea you need a new oil pan
A new oil pan is the proper fix. This is a temporary fix to help someone get out of a bind.

Looks brand new lol😮
come on man.....
You should explain why you did this so people could understand why, that's what the description section is for. Or explain yourself in the comment section.
How long you let it cure?
I don’t know can u really trust that?
That is the worst thing in the world you could do
Just get a new oil pan they are like 20$ lol
If you can't change it yourself, shops will often quote you $500-$1000
My oil pan is $400 +
That happened to the gloves you recommended using?

Pause
This mf please don't.
NEVER HOLD ! SORRY, WHY WOULD YOU POST THIS B S ???????????
You didn't even remove it to clean the insides
Really ? Wtf?
Umm. No
No way
It's still on the car with oil in it, doesn't leak a drop 🤣
At least use some screen mesh..
Gosh, I hope you paint it when yer done…
PRO NERD WORK 😂
That is a terrible fix I would never let you fix anything ever
