Mario Loya B1B Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Last night I was in the process of cleaning up a spare oil bath air filter for paint and noticed a small pinhole on the outer wall of the resevoir, well below the fill line. What is the best and easiest way to fill this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Evans Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Sounds like a job for JB Weld. Amazing stuff. http://jbweld.net/products/uses.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Loya B1B Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Thanks Reg. That seems to be exactly what I need. Another question for anyone that cares to chime in? As I mentioned I am trying to spruce up the oil-bath air filter and the oil cap breather. Has anyone here used the instuction decals sold by Roberts or the ones I so often see listed on eBay? Did these type of decals appear originally on our trucks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 The Decals are accurate reproductions of ones found on our engines. However the Full Flow oil filter decal although seen on most of the cars at shows nowadays ,is correct only for the Full Flow of the Big Block motors. Most of the others have the bypass type filter. Another pissibility for the pin hole repair is a small sheet metal screw with a dab of silicone under the head. Had several oil pans repaired with so many screws it they looked like they had the chicken pox. Driven from the outside in at the site of the pin hole, held for years.

Jim Shepard Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I used the decals from Roberts and they went on fine. I hadn't played around with decals since my youngster days building airplanes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Loya B1B Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Jim, do you recall if the decals from Roberts where vinyl? The supplier on eBay advertises his as not vinyl declas, but the kind you soak in water before applying. Not that I know one is better than the other. Just curious.
