Another fix with JB weld

I was on a family vacation in our Plymouth caravan one year on the way down there I hit a piece of wood that was in the lane on the interstate I didnt think much about it at the time but by the time we reached our destination (pigeon fordge Tennessee) the car started overheating. So I get us checked in to the hotel the wife and kid( I just had one at this point) where settling in I went out to inspect the car. The chunk of wood cracked the water pump. So i filled it up with water and went to the local parts store. I got a new water pump. Well in the process of taking the old one off i broke two of the bolts. The heads just snapped off even with the block. So here i am 300 miles from home not alot of money with my wife and a year old and a van with 2 broke water pump bolts in the block. So I did the only thing i could think of. I made a jb weld "gasket" and filled the the two broke holes up with jb weld. And tightened the remaining bolts up the keep everything straight while it cured. I let it set for around 24 hours. Filled it back up with antifreeze and went on to enjoy the rest of the vacation. I drove that van for another 4 years or so and it still ran like a champ when I traded it in. Id say it will last until that water pump goes bad. Lol
