Default What to glue loose coolant push in tube on TB with??

See attached pic.

I got my tb back from maxbore, installed it. The question for this post is this press in coolant tube was loose and leaking coolant.

What would you guys recommend securing it in place with? Epoxy, E6000? or other??

Use the regular JB Weld...Not the Quick-set type

I'd use silicone sealant, and I'd also drill/tap and secure with a set screw.

I have applied some slow set (24 hr) JB weld and will try the part out tomorrow.

JB weld (regular as mentioned above) is the way to go - good stuff!

What does the factory use? Is this pressed in and sealed?


Not something you would want to "let go" on the highway.

It appears that the factory fit was simply a press in. The pipe was bent on mine so I suspect it was dropped and hit that protruding tube to break it free.
