[TR] Camshaft Plug Sealing

On the last TR engine rebuild I used JB Weld two
part epoxy to seal up the
rear camshaft plug. Well after about 8 years it
developed a leak. Eventually
the leak worsened as the engine got hot.



Now
that I have the engine out I can see that the epoxy had some cracks, and
was
able to  easily chip it  out using a screwdriver.



So, what should I use to
seal this plug up once and for all?
