[DeTomaso] Epoxy in Injector Pockets????

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

I share your feelings regarding epoxying metal to metal in an engine application. How about a loose press fit with the epoxy acting more as a sealant? The loose press fit could be achieved by drilling the holes and/or turning the injector holders to zero press fit, then scarring one of the surfaces for a small interference fit. I haven't seen the parts so I don't know if this is practical though.

> I'm having a manifold converted to EFI and the shop thinks it's better to epoxy the injector pockets into the manifold than to weld them. I bought MSD pockets, and they say "epoxy in" on the label. It's a little scary, but there in no structural issue, and it's not like adding epoxy inside ports that can break loose. Is it a waste of $s to have the pockets welded in?
