I had to do a similar repair for a friend.

here is some pics
most will be self explanatory.

here is the problem...

cut too far into the gasket area.

 

[David Young]

So I trimmed the screws .030 and cut down the middle divider so it doesnt high center.

I filled the runners with wax to keep them open and keep the jb weld where I wanted it.

I use denatured alcohol to degrease and clean the mating area.

 

[David Young]

I over filled the mating surfaces with JB weld so they flow out, and then clean up the over flow on the outside. This also will make the transfer ducts smoother because I filled the voids with jb and made a smoother runner with better transitions

 

[David Young]

heat gun to cure and remove the wax

 

[David Young]

tadaa!

fixed.

well so far so good.

hope this helps.

Spares and/or extra parts. Always a good thing, although my wife may disagree on that.

Another question. It will hold presure but not a vacuum. How to you test for vacuum leak. When i rebuilt saw i never vac tested cause never had tester at that time. On pressure tested it.

I pour thicker oil on the possible areas one by one trying to seal it up. When it holds, you've found your leak

 

[tree monkey]

crank seal

 

[merc_man]

the leak was around the spark plug hole. i got it togeather and tried it. it worked good but i took a before and after vid but realy was not much gains. cutting from the same block of wood all cuts were around the 16 second mark.
