Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines Oil pump tube: JB weld or solder?

I wouldn't recommend any other method than welding(TIG)the pickup tube in place. Once you epoxy or add some kind of compound like that to the inside of the pump cavity, it can always potentially break down or chip and flake off and enter into the oil stream, and the filter might not catch all of it. I wouldn't even consider that alternative as a last resort.
