Pics are blocked at work so I can't tell what crack you're talking about here. Is it a crack at the mounting surface of the oil pressure switch?

yep, it's on the right side and goes in towards the block
might be one on the opposite side also, but hard to tell as the oil pump is there
but that gasket should contain it if so
How far back does the crack go? I can see it clearly near the plug but I can't tell if it traverses really deep. I really can't tell you the best way to repair that. How fast is the leak?
jb weld that bitch?
Do it once do it right, get it welded up properly
You need to have a better understanding of threads. That trans plug you are trying to use will NEVER work. The allen head plugs are a tappered thread like pipe thread. The plug u are trying to use is a strait cut machine thread and not for that application at all.
My $.02
Sorry you did not make it.
this plug is also a tapered head plug
i tried everything i could think of, including taking it to a shop.
found the crack wednesday night and finally gave up thursday around midnight after the jbweld didn't work
no way i was going to make it at that point....
i'm pretty sure it was screwed from the first time i removed that allen head bolt, but kept getting worse the more i messed with it
all good things come to those who wait. she'll be fixed soon and better then ever man.
Whats the go from here now?
can you just get the whole area welded up?
Damn how am I just finding this thread... WTH man why didn't you get a hold of me!! We could have knocked all of this out is a day or so...LOL
JB weld should have held, but you need to prep the surface first. hit it with some 60 - 80 grit sand paper to rough up the area and remove the black block coating "JB weld wont stick to that shit". Don't use the quick shit either. Use the original and wait 24 hours. Make sure it is bone dry and no oil on any of the matting surfaces. Any oil will cause it to not bond to the metal.
Any sanding grit that gets in that oil galley, and your done. It will go strait to the motor. Do be carfull.
Yes, Be sure to leave the plug in when sanding it down. Probably best to just JB weld over the plug and the crack. That should stop it from leaking.Quote:

covered everything in "right stuff - ultra gray"
let it sit for like 7 or 8 hours... still leaking
i had a little run in with lightning that same day and was a really rough week for me
guess it just wasn't meant to be
last wednesday or thursday i was ready to pay someone $500 to make this problem go away
your help is welcome anytime
just to add some closure to this
i dropped it off at a shop a couple months ago to get welded up
took him forever to get to it, just brought it home last weekend
he hooked me up at $125 and also installed my ps axle for me, not a bad deal :)
wish he would have been available when i needed it right before ng11
oh well, i should definitely be ready for ng12 :)
she's needs a little tlc, but running great and not the slightest oil leak now
