Other Reinforce cases

[SuperN8]

Anybody have tried using Hard Blok to reinforce cases? or at least fill them in?

what would u reinforce with it? i have used it in rag cars more than once but cant think of where i would put it in a jetski

he is probably thinking of stator area after port work.

i am talking about filling in the water jackets in the case.
I would thing using a aluminum type epoxy would work better for any area that may receive porting work or trenching

 

[jo5hi3]

those are not water jackets...... but it is common practice to fill those areas with epoxy when the cases are ported

I didnt think so, but I did not know what else to call it besides an empty void lol.
I have seen it filled with epoxy which is why asked if this could be used instead, Hard Blok cheaper then epoxy and I would assume would give you the same benefit?

that i would not know idk how well u can hand form that stuff. we have always poured it in and let it set up

 

[SuperN8]

wouldn't need to hand form, just poor into the case to harden, just use much much smaller quantities then you would in automotive appilcations

those voids dont even need to be filled. its the other side that gets filled cause when you tunnel port the intake tract, you burn thru into those. those do get filled when you do a massive big bore, but for 701/760 , not necessary/waste of epoxy/jb weld

Thanks Buzzard!!
is it correct to say that these are the areas filled? (indicated by red circles)

 

[Wizards Powersports]

The areas you reference in the upper left pictures I have never seen filled. Upper right and lower left are filled when doing moderate to aggressive case porting. Lower right is only done when trenching for a stroker, 5mm+

I bought this stuff to use.

Does anyone happen to know how much is needed? (volume or weight #'s would be cool)

I also have to make this work. From my tests should need about 200cc of epoxy.
