I'm not sure about the JB Weld idea. Are they telling you to use that instead of "setting" them with the tool? If so don't do it. I used it on my second set that was installed dry with the special tool. I applied it in 3 locations around the outside of the seated plug. As posted, they help 35 lbs of air pressure but later on they started to leak. Now maybe if I had used it to completely cover the seating ring around the circumfrance they might not have leaked or at least I would not have seen it. That still doesn't mean they would hold pressure for ever. I run a very good coolant and use only distilled water. I run about 40% distilled water and 60% coolant. Nothing cools better than waterbut it boils way too low. I may try the Evans waterless no pressure coolant. It seems like a better coolant for my needs. Its just so expensive but the better things usually are...No, the plugs in the deck are just the cup type plugs. They are not a problem but use a sealant on them anyway.
