Just JB weld it, if it doesn't hold then you know what you have to do, I've had multiple techs tell me they've used it over the years on random cracks and worked great... it's just a KA couldn't hurt anymore then whats happening now

haha i like all the its a "ka" jokes..

but anyway back on topic, im pulling the motor at the end of summer to build it, so i don't want the hassle of pulling the front cover off if i don't have to. the reason i plan on using jb weld is because my uncle is a Nissan tech and he look at the and the size of the crack and just recomended to use some jb weld. and if it leaks ill see it obviously, and then ill just change the cover if it does.

i fully understand about half assing my car. but the problem isnt crazy the crack is literary the size of one hair. and the leak is a constant drip not a stream of fluid. but yes if i had the tools and time id replace the cover. that is the correct way.

so back to my original question any more recommendations on a good sealant besides what was mentioned?
