    Default quick jb weld question...

    do you guys think if i put some jb weld on this and let it "set" overnight it will be okay to put the head back on and start it right up? i would ofcourse turn the boost down so it would be as harsh on the cylinder walls..

    naww, no JB Weld needed...just take some wooden wedges and hammer them down into the water jacket, just make sure you use a brass hammer so you don't damage the cylinder wall It should fix'r right up!
