No. Wait to do the entire repair. You want the JB Weld to set at the same rate. Tester ---

Should your patch job fail that mount attaches to the timing chain cover, it can be replaced. A new timing chain cover is $175 and 4.2 hours of labor to replace, with gaskets, shop supplies and fluids, the total will be $750 to $1000. ---

I will be going to get the piece of metal tomorrow morning. Other than being gauge 12, what else should I ask? Should it he aluminium like the part that cracked or steel? ---
