[Vwdiesel] off topic, but diesel

[James Hansen]

Yeah, it's warmed up to -20, so of course it's now snowing. Good a time as
any to go wash salt off the truck... :-)

James, did you say -30F.  That is STAY inside by the wood stove temps.
Wow.

  Any stove cement I've seen, turns hard and would likely blow out in the
first few hours.  Hard to get solder to breach a hole bigger than an
electrical component or small body puller will fit in.
  Brazing will span the hole if you're good but then there's something
called welding!
I'm no great welder but I've done a few cast and ss welds lately. I now do
the repairs for a local restaurant's kitchen stuff and managed to weld back,
a broken wheel lug tab on one of the tractors.  Both weld like butter and
make you feel like you really know how to weld.
  A friend described something called "cold welding" and it worked great on
the tractor.  Dab a short spot, go as far from that and do another, until
you can't do any withouth heating up the part.  After each, get a chipping
hammer and tap on it until it's nearly cooled off.  Keep repeating until the
whole crack/hole is done.  Doesn't get hot enough to crack when it cools. 
Takes some time but beats scrapping it.

You could try some Stove and Gasket Cement.

If not can you possibly solder it?

I have a maniford for a compact diesel tractor, which is cast iron, and now
as a hole in it.  Does anyone have experience patching exhaust manifolds ith
any epoxy materials?
The total area is about equivalent to a 10mm hole.
