I have used BJ weld in the oil gallery of a 350 chevy engine to repair
cracks in the water jacket due to ice in the block. Just clean all
surfaces of any foriegn matter (oil corosion or paint) sand or grind to
good metal. This product will withstand high temperatures, oil, gas and
anti-freeze. This should work for you. At least it's worth a try.

thermostat

luck.
