Today I set about repairing the damage to the intercooler from the boat engine.
Some time in the past a engineer ???? had fitted the exhaust injection elbow to the alloy manifold/ intercooler using a copper gasket!!
The resulting electrolysis caused the damage seen in the photo.
So I mounted the casting on the mill ---Just.
And took a skim to see the damage.
The strength of the casting was OK but the gasket face was shot.
so I cleaned out the damage, made a spacer from a scrap pulley.
Bonded the spacer in with Hi Temp epoxy, then cleaned it up
I think that will fix it
