Re: 1930 Elto Speedster Compression Release?

Dn’t use JB Weld, you want something that will be easy to remove if you decide to do so later.

Test it out first tho. If it don’t leak, don’t fix it.

Heat-resistant Loctite or similar strong pipe thread sealing compound if you must.

FWIW – I plug the compression release valves on my Super C’s with a pipe plug and a small amount of Masters Pro-Dope pipe thread sealant. I leave the works intact so it looks original. I didn’t do it yet on my new electric Super C, and it spread an oily film all over that side of the transom. If it gets plugged off, I don’t think it make much difference in cranking speed, and its cleaner to operate.

Hope this helps.
