| − | + | ''<blockquote>"A common problem on the early Q-jets especially, is leaky main wells. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | The 'cure' for this has long been to use JB Weld, etc. to seal them over. This is just a stop-gap measure, I have seen personally how the epoxy will degrade over time and quit sealing as it did at first. | |
| + | |||
| + | If a permanent fix is wanted, the wells can be resealed w/new plugs that are peened over to hold them in place. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The primary wells can be drilled and tapped for short screws that will cure them for good, although these wells seldom leak. ^5</blockquote>'' | ||
