Sweet!! I decided that head gaskets were to much money, so i used JB weld to bond the heads/block together... No more coolent leaks for me!!

Cool, then it will match my license plate. It was a bitch to find though I had to go into a "questionable" store to find it but it looks sweet on the front of my purple vette.

I dont think that is a problem, someone who would belive this probably would not have the necessary tools or knowledge to find/remove or even ID a cam.

the funny thing is, i was looking into rebuilding my n/a 3 cyl. motor (1050cc) and upon research i see where some guys have gotten their sprints into the low 13s/high12s @ 104-106 by working the heads and swapping to a larger cam...pretty f'n cool if you ask me. a ~62cid motor propelling that shoebox of a car to 12.9 @ 106 would make my day.

no no, you don'tLB weld teh heads on.. you just WELD the heads on. Get out the alum welding stick, and run a bead around the whole outer part of the head.. it's great for boost applications, no more head gasket to pop out
JB weld will work good to hold the head in place while you are welding it though, so that might be a good idea too.
