Will JB Weld Fix A Cracked Jeep Engine Block????? Project Peanut Pt. 2

If you haven't watched the first video of this 2 part series of project Peanut and the cracked block. Please watch the first part linked below. I used J-B as an experiment to temporarily fix the cracked engine block. What do you know it actually worked! This is a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport with the inline-6 4.0. Project Peanut will be in many future episodes on this channel. I plan on lifting the Jeep a little bit more to give some room for extra clearance of the tires and many more small upgrades to the Jeep.

my dad jb welded a toyota 22r engine block bact together back in the late 1980s that had actually threw a rod anyways it worked so well he packed us kids all up and drove clear to california and took us all around california and nevada and we lived there for a year and then we moved back to washington and he sold the car running strong with no issues (except cosmetic ones)
So jb weld is the holy grail of jimmy rigging as long as teh surface areas have been degreased/cleaned its gucci

Man, thanks for these 2 videos. I also have a 99 with cracks in the same top two places. Just the other way around. I wanted to get them welded, but watched a few videos on this process. Then, I saw these two. So, thanks. What's funny is I didn't even know there were cracks. I was doing a cat, front pipe, exhaust manifold, cps, and injectors replacement. Got everything cleaned and ready for reinstalling and noticed it. It'd been there for a while, too. Probably there when I bought it. I just didn't notice. But, again, very helpful. Made a subscriber here, bud. Keep it up!

Great watch. I wish I was as handy. Used that weld though over the years, and it's always been good.

hey man so… i did the same fix just this past week. I didn’t wrap the headers, but im hoping this does it! so far so good! i hope to get a few thousand miles more!

[@theprojectchannel4434]

Sweet, I don't think the header wrap is completely necessary. I just did it as an extra precaution. Hope it works out for you!

[@lampajoo]

Awesome! lol I can totally see doing this. It’s a very cheap fix.

[@theprojectchannel4434]

Thanks, it is still holding strong today!

[@a1fixitguy309]

How's the jeep running now...11 months later?

[@theprojectchannel4434]

Still running strong!

@@theprojectchannel4434 Wow!!! Awesome, I will be checking out my block because I have had overheating issues and looking at doing a second head gasket and most likely another head too. When I put a thermostat in, it would almost always overheat eventually on long drives, when I take it out, it drives ok at least around town. I am wondering if there is cracks in the block so if the water is flowing straight through without the thermostat, maybe it wouldn't escape as fast as if the thermostat is there and closes causing the block to expand, then leaks happen. I could never figure it out, nobody had answers to what they considered STUPID from a woman and her Jeep. I sure wish I would have left the thermostat out, major job again. EFFF TY, I will take a much harder look for cracks this time. By the way, I looked into JB extreme heat paste for $12 a jar, over Belzona INSANE at $700 kit. ------- www.jbweld.com/product/j-b-extremeheat?srsltid=AfmBOooFFUi6pXfXsnXaCfyJgZepsrtmgG0IHiOwqeF829lw68SxNrF5a0E Thanks Jeep On!!!
