[Healeys] non Healey, car question

[Richard Ewald]

JB weld is not a caulk but rather an epoxy.  It might seal a hole, but what
are you going to do if you ever need to remove the manifold?  It dries so
hard it can be machined.
I have seen hi temp silicone (Permatex 26 or 27) used to seal header gaskets
during assembly, making sure everything is clean during the assembly.  I
would hold little hope that squirting some in a dirty blown gasket would
have any hope of lasting more than a few minutes.
