Hi All -
Was at a Superbowl party where a pal showed up in an older, fairly beat 928. We started tinkering but primarily just did some cleaning. It was a nice day, so we did some degreasing of the motor - it actually came out pretty darn nice. As I was wiping off the intake, I took a small wire brush around the silver Porsche crest located on the top just to get some last remaining yuck out of the pours of the intake. I didn't even get the chance to actually scrub - the crest came off with litterally no pressure. It is not a mechanical fit and you can see the remnance of some type of clear/yello epoxy. I felt terrible. Will something like JB weld work to repair this? Any other suggestions? I am concerned about the heat. I dont want to add to this guys pain by having this crest fall into the belts later on -although it was pretty clear that this was close to happening already. I just used Simple Green to clean the thing - I cant imagine that would have eaten away at that epoxy. Here is a pic. Thanks - Scott S Attached image(s) ![]() |

I would use Yamabond 4. Get the silver stuff. It looks like aluminum so it will blend well if a little should show at the edge of the crest. It drys like hard rubber or vinyl. I would use JB hi-temp if you don't have Yamabond.
