  1. I have 2000 e7 460 with Jake. The last time about 3yrs ago when I was gonna adjust the valves I noticed I had 1 plug missing from each shaft. I went to the auto parts store an got all new plugs a little deeper than the original. Today when I took it apart to adjust valves the front plug on the rear shaft was out. How do you guys remedy this? I was thinking of Tig welding the plugs in. What do you think?

  2. I have a 200 ch with eaton rears. On the front rear on the drivers side on the rear of the housing from the banjo part to about 3in. to the drivers side the weld joining the top an bottom was ground down [ for what reason I don't know] but it was like this from the factory[i bought the truck new]. Any way in this ground area is a small horizontal crack that seeps oil, I put JB weld on it an it quits for 2 yrs. any suggestion on what else might be good to use? This must be a common problem cause a guy I park with has a 2005 an his is doing the same thing in the same spot. I have no idea why that weld was ground, must be for a jig or fixture or something like that. I know best is to weld but not convenient for me. Any suggestions on what to use? or JB weld again? Thanks
