I did the gasket replacement / JB Weld thing with dealer VW head gaskets when I
first rebuilt my engine and
it started leaking again about six months later (when the season / temperature
changed...) Might have been
my fault, as it was my first engine rebuild ever. Probably made some mistakes.

I had a good job at the time and so spent the extra bucks to get some
new/refurbished Boston Engine
heads and bought the gaskets and stuff from him too. They were beautiful and
Boston Bob is a hell of a
nice guy. So far no problems although I haven't been driving it a great deal.
This was about a year and a half
ago.
Good Luck.
