Subject:Re: leaky head gasket question again

<snip> JB Weld in the head pits? This really works? How many others on
this list have used this technique? <snip>

Last year I had to replace one head so I resealed the other while I was
at it.  I used JB Weld to level the pits where the rubber gasket fits
between the head and the water jacket.

No problems so far and I continued to use van as a daily driver
throughout the winter (Northern Maine).  I have also made three trips to
southern Virginia (approx 1300 miles one way) maintaining "Uneconomical"
speeds.
