JB Weld is a good thing.
I've got a race head where it was used successfully to fill wher some clown
(no, no me) got into a water jacket as he hogged out the port.
I've used it successfully on the exhaust portion of the emissions on a Jeep
Wagoneer big block. It gets pretty hot there... but its not directly in
contact with the manifold.
