    Plugging Air Passages

    The TGR2 has plugs in the front of its air passages that seal with orings. I already pretty much destroyed the plugs trying to get them out, so I figured I'd fix them in place permanently since there's no reason to get in the front of the passages. What should I use to seal the threads? I was thinking JB Weld since I want it to be permanent, but if I somehow screw up and it ends up leaking somewhere down the line I'll be SOL. What else could I use? Red Loctite? Does that degrade over time? Is it easy enough to get undone with heat?

    Degrease both parts thoroughly (I use Carb Cleaner or Brakleen) and apply JB liberally. It'll be fine.

      I used Teflon and blue loc tight on a few plug screws of my dm6 about 14 years ago.... Still hasn't leaked

      But I also know that if it ever does I'm not SOL. I can remove them and seal it up again..... For another 14+years
