JB Weld | Model Engineer

Thanks for that input Bill. My thoughts had been for the piston crown and pin carrier as one piece with the skirt as a separate part. It was the thought of the potential for the skirt parting company that put me off trying I can see the logic of your method is a far better option and as you say the JB is always in compression. I will certainly give it a go if I make another engine - indeed it might be a good enough reason to make another engine. It's your last paragraph that gives the real reassurance though - if it stands up to powering a Peacemaker then it will withstand most that it's expected of it I'm sure. BTW was this your Sugden Special?
