    i've had good luck with quicksteel epoxy putty.. always has held great for me and have used several times ... you can get it at about any parts store...

    what caused the hole in your case?

    i broke a chunk off a case and JB welded it. Id suggest not to use quick weld, And if your surface is not 100% clean it wont ever hold. Also take a grinder and score up the area so the JB has something to bind to.

    Naw jb's weld will just crack and leak. I've been there done that. It might sound like it won't work but it does. Use hi-temp silicone. Thats the only thing that has worked for me.

    I would use JB Weld or similar aluminum repair type product. Score the area up and make sure it is as clean as humanly possible; as soon as you think it's clean, clean it again with carb cleaner, etc. Mix the putty well, glob it on there and give it plenty of time to cure. W/o disassembly for welding, this may be your best bet.

    Take it to a welding shop and get it welded. If you get it ready they can fill a hole in cast no problem. I welded up my transmission and works great. I have used that two part epoxy stick on my transfer case on my jimmy too. It was even leaking oil out of the hole and I just smushed the putty over it. Worked great and hasn't leaked for 3 years. Its definately not as good as getting it welded but its quick and easy.

    Wow $95 an hour, good deal. Ha ha. Thats brutal, I guess its not where you go, its who you know. I wouldn't pay that, but I am a pretty decent welder and know several custom fabricators and custom welders. So I don't really have that problem. I know the local shop charges $60 an hour, and would probably tell you 2 hours to cover his but. But he would only charge you for the time spent if it took less. Small town shops are usually better, because they have a reputation to keep.
