Hey Guys,

When I was removing the salt buildup around the cylinder heads one of the cylinder gasket edge area came apart. Can I use a JB Marine Weld to repair so gasket will properly seat? What do you recommend?

Thank You

You can use JB Weld or equiv. I have done so in the past. Just know that it may not hold. Without knowing the extent or what type engine, I would buy a used cyl head but not all makes are removable. I have done it on models where I really had no other choice.
