The key to any good adhesive bond is to have the surfaces immaculately clean, which is easier said than done when you're dealing with an oil soaked mechanism. Ceramic is a porous enough material that it can wick up oil over extended periods of time, in which case you may have what seems like a good initial bond, but it could potentially fail at some point in the future. Over on Toms thread I mentioned milled fiberglass and epoxy as a substitute for JB Weld.
