cbc76am, did you run a tube inside to allow the coolant to transfer out to the ends? You will likely need that or similar other wise the coolant just short circuits from the inlet to the outlet and the bar only gets hot right in the middle. I ran a length of soft copper tubing through the bar from end to end leaving about an inch or so at each end. I then drilled and tapped a third hole in the dead center of the bar where I injected my sealant, in my case I used silicone rather than epoxy. It was hard to find a way to inject the sealant and ensure it went around the copper tube and sealed it off vs just squeezing down the length of the bar. That was the hardest part of the build, I ended up using a felt rope and worked it in there but it was only moderately successful in containing the sealant. Once I figured that out and I injected the silicone, I closed the hole off with a pipe plug and let it all cure. Works perfect and bars get smoking hot right out to the ends.
