Default What type of epoxy for filling intake ports?

What type of epoxy woudl you recommend for filling the intake ports of the cylinder heads?

I stopped in at a local shop and they were doing some work with reshaping the intake ports on stock LS1 heads. I had a small discussion with the owner about the theory and what he's doing makes sense.

Thanks,
Mike

Green Death. You can find it at a marine supply store. I don't remember the real name of it though.

Short answer, dont do it. Very few people know how to epoxy well enough to get any gains from it. Much less the possibility of having failure and debris into your cylinder. I have tried 3 different kinds and all 3 have had some manor of failure. This was more for trial and error and short term use. What are you trying to accomplish?
