Has anyone had any experience using a product called "ThermoSteel" produced
by CarGo Chemicals, Houston TX? Specifically, I am contemplating a repair
to the threaded hole on the exhaust manifold that accepts the bolt that
joins the intake and exhaust manifolds together for additional
strengthening. (BJ8, see Moss part #320-595 for clarification). Obviously,
there are high heat concerns here (thus my favorite JB Weld is inapplicable
as it only withstands temps to 300 degrees). Supposedly, ThermoSteel is a
ceramic based compound (as opposed to an epoxy based) able to withstand
temps to 1200 degrees. The hole needs to be filled and tapped to accept a
new bolt. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom
