I've been thinking about building a 3 rotor P-port, and some of the sealing
techniques used around the
intake tube. I know you have suggested epoxys in the past but what about using
lead or tin?
fairly easy to melt and will easily handle the heat. My thought was to clamp a
steel plate to one side of the rotor housing
fill the water jacket up with lead or tin then mill the hole in the rotor
housing for the P-port. Has anyone suggested that yet?
I think body shops have been doing that for years to fix panels on cars.

We finally have a reliable system that works and easily repaired after
a couple of years of trial and error AKA R&D :)

We don't really use epoxy anymore. We tig weld a SS tube to
the steel rotor liner. Pin hole leaks are sealed with liquid
silicone rubber.

We also have a youtube video or two on the subject.
See the attached pdf for a list.

There is no reason for the tin or lead to bond to the aluminum
so you would probably wind up with leaks.

P.S. Darn I forgot the attachments.

I see one big file (3.5 meg) snuck in there by mistake guys. Sorry!
The best thing is go on your web mail and delete it or you mailbox
will fill up prematurely.
