Re: [DML] how do you fix cracks in lower engine cover?

["basfe25" <drrub46@xxxx>]

I've used JB Weld epoxy. The stuff is extremely strong (if mixed 
properly) can be sanded, drilled and painted and best of all it's 
cheap and you can do it yourself. I would try that first...I've used 
it to fix a large crack on the lower engine cover along with a crack 
in the louver.
