 I JB Welded the exhaust studs back in that block for a friend.  I told him
 to sell it fast and don't drive it.  He did, and I still see that car
 driving around town years later.  It also broke the rocker shaft in half.
I
 had to replace that part.  No amount of JB weld would have fixed that one.
