I thought I had dropped a cylinder last weekend when we were going to the camp. There was water shooting out of my top sparkplug. I pulled it apart and thought it was a head gasket and it wasn't. It wound up being a pinhole leak in the water jacket just above that plug. So I jb welded it temp. of course in hopes that it will hold for this weekend and them come Monday I'll put a new head and gasket on her.
I bet it works. That JB weld is amazing. They have repaired cracked heads on CAT diesels before, so if you get a good bond, it will hold some pressures.

I hope the best for you. Is it a paper or copper gasket? If paper, you could have bought some gasket paper at the auto parts and cut to fit. Too late now. I think youll be fine. I have repaired a cracked thermostat housing with JB weld that sees 300+ temps and 15-30 psi. It held for 6 more months of constant operatiosn in the desert(it was a military vehicle).
