    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What kind of epoxy would stand up to the rigors of everyday riding? I would need stuff that wouldn't burn off or come loose. Is it recommended for street use at all??

What are you trying to do with it? Epoxy has excellent chemical resistance, so any decent one should work. Just be sure to clean the area very well. Use acetone for the final wipes of the surface and it should be fine.
 
I think I've seen people use "JB Weld" in the exhaust ports,so it can take high heat.
 
There is a marine product out there called Splash Zone. It's a 2-part material. Drag racers have used it for years. Once you get it in your port you can wet your finger and push it around and form it nicely. I've used it before in gas and methanol engines , nothing bothers it.

Have you been over-zealous while doing a porting job?
 
I'll be using it to "shape" my intake ports once the grinding work is done. The epoxy will be on the floor of the ports as this shape helps the mixture "tumble" into the combustion chamber.
