We didn't trust that there was enough area available for the gasket to make a good seal where the engine and the cylinder meet. So Bill thought it would be a good idea to add some area to the engine with some J-B Weld. So what the hell it couldn't hurt right. Here we go.

We taped off all of the areas we didn't want the weld to get on
and put a piece of tape between the two case halves to prevent
the case from sticking together. |

Some soft filing to make flush. |
After we finished the next day I was organizing my work area and realized a piece of the weld came off :(
I think it was due to the very old JB "kwik" weld we used.

I had to rip the top off to get it open :) |
So the next day I went back to Auto Zone and picked up the J-B Weld Stik and redid the side that fell off.
It worked great, no need to tape anything off.
