Ok I have started this thread to fix some issues that may have been present with my other user name. This thread however just continues from my other thread.

Thanks Diesel.

Johnwa I have used jb weld on external engine repairs before but I am somewhat concerned being oil soakred with lots of vibration and heat that a failure may occur. If it gets caught up in the chain and the engine being an interference engine bad things may happen.

Apparently JB weld over time with heat cycling will shrink so its my opinion that this would be a temporary fix..

Now I'm leaning on turning a copper pin and having it tig welded as Tom had suggested. If anyone knows a shop with a resonable rates and a lot of experience that would be great.

Found a replacement chain guide retaining pin one side a bevel which needs to be present once reconstructed the other side threaded for pin removal with a slide hammer.

I've got some Aladdin 3 in 1 rods for aluminum as well as tig but i haven't tryed any repairs like that before. here is the pdf for the aladdin rods

Interesting I believe those rods are simiar to durafix low temp aluminum brazing rods that require mapp gas. I have another head which is awaiting recycling I could drill a hole and you could see if it would work out. If you are game emai me and we can discuss. We would just need a straight edge to measure the matting surface before and afterward. Oh and have a copper pin made.
