THE JB WELD WORKED !!!!!!

I bought a new water nipple and some JB WELD INDUSTRO-WELD COLD WELD.

Cleaned all the broken parts, 2 pieces, and the nipple. Goop'd the JB on heavy on the parts and on the threads of the nipple. Installed all the parts as if they were new, managed to turn the nipple in 3-4 turns before the pieces started to spread. We stopped and then put some vise-grips on the broken parts and applied light pressure to hold everything in place, just enough to close the cracks, it then looked like the factory new water inlet it was supposed to.

18 hours later we looked at it and it looked great, started the engine for its break in 20 mins, and NO LEAKS!!!!!
Knock on wood I hope it stays that way. It should be OK the JB is good to 600 degrees F.

I just thought I would update everyone that looked at and answered the first post, to let everyone know that it seems that there is an alternative to welding and it called,
J B WELD INDUSTRO-WELD COLD WELD!!!!!
Great Stuff highly recommend it for cracks,at least on aluminum intakes.

Thanks for everyone's inputs.
