    Jim and All,

    << Last spring I had to replace the brass insert in the header tank and the
    instructions I received from Brian at American Diesel were to clean the
    header flange throughly and then insert the new replacement insert after
    coating both surfaces with 5 min. epoxy. >>

    CAUTION: 5 Minute Epoxies are not (all) waterproof. The Devcon 5 Minute
    Epoxy package states on the back that it is not water resistant (by not
    having a dot in that box, which show its characteristics). Note that it is
    not only not waterproof, but not even water resistant. Epoxies are great, but
    make sure you "READ THE LABELS".
