Hidden/undetectable air leaks? Bad cylinder?

Aluminum

I broke out some epoxy. There seems to be more aluminum behind it. I'm gonna get the correct bit and drill it out tomorrow.

If it's aluminum it doesn't look like it was cast with the cases. Mine had moisture coming from it.

I don't think the cases are damaged. The cases come epoxied from the factory so, I think it has just worn out in that spot so I'm going to re-epoxy it and check for leaks.

What are your thoughts trickedcarbine?

Never in my years of working on these things have I saw a leak there. At first I was gonna say epoxy there is the dumbest thing ever, but I guess anything is possible. But the two sets of cases on my bench definitely appear that they are solid aluminum. Not sure what you have going on.

Same I thought. But a good tap on the back of an awl, and epoxy cracks and falls to pieces.

I still haven't broke through entirely, but only one had epoxy in it. Not all 4.

Regardless, the little that I did get through had aluminum behind it. So once I get time to actually tear into it I'm gonna post and let you know what come of it.

Take a hammer and punch to your junk case and see if there are plugs in there like the shift shaft plugs.
