HI Max,
I am one of those that has used JB Weld =
for
heads. At last count, there were another 100,000 miles on the
fix. When I was looking into what to use, I called the =
company and
they said it would stand 500 degrees intermittantly. Hopefully there is =
nothing
in your engine, short of the exhaust, that gets to that temp.

Even the higher quality epxies won't =
