<p>I wonder if there is some sort of high temp epoxy that would hold
in that application. That would be a temporary fix, but perhaps it
would hold long enough for you to save up the funds for the
replacement.</p>

Andy, could you stake the seat into the block? I don't
know much abvout <br>
Onan engines, but it swwms to me that this would be an
inexpensive fix <br>
vs. a replacement engine. Also if these Onan engines are
prone to this <br>
failure, there is probably a fix available for the
issue.<br>
<br>
<br>
My 2?<br>

<div class="PlainText">Thank for the answer Phil, the
trick fixes like staking the seat into the block have
already been tried and failed. There are oversized
seats available but I would have to tear the engine down
to have the block machined for the new seat. I may be
able to switch engines easier and cheaper. I wish I
knew and easy way to machine the block for a new seat
without a complete tear down. </div>
