I recently pulled the left head from my 86 vanagon. There was some corrosion on the head surface where it comes in contact with the gasket. Other than the leak, it was running great. Has anyone ever used JB Weld to fill in the pits on the head surface? I know this isn't as good as a new head, but it's an old, high miles engine, and I was hoping to suck some more life out of this head.
Thanks, Greg Stelz
