fjz80 Coolant leak around bypass pipe

[Kernal]

Glad you found it.

Agree with stuffing something in the crack from both sides, maybe like a Marine grade epoxy, smoothed off on the inside so as not to interfere with the O-rings or the pipe, will likely last years.

That's my leading plan. I just cannot justify removing the head to get that off.

The crack would likely benefit from a good cleaning before using the epoxy, maybe a brass "toothbrush" would help along with some supercleaners to remove any build-up of crud??

Look at the pics from @SNLC in the following post.

This pretty definitive that it's one piece an the part number is what you need.

The timing chain cover can come off without pulling the head

It can, but it appears that its worse than pulling the head.

That said, I have resolved my issue. I welded the crack. Well, my wallet welded the crack

I want to see pics. Did you remove the cover of have it welded in place?

That was a feat if someone welded that in place.

YOU MUST SHARE!

Welded it in the vehicle, here is a picture of it welded and smoothed out. And yes, i knew it would require a very good tig welder.

This provides hope and help to the next guy this will happen to.

Thanks for posting info about it.

I know I’m bringing one back from the semi dead but thank you. I’m having the exact same issue and have swapped that bypass twice. Looks like I need to source the crack and have it welded.
This is why I love this forum.
