I used jb weld in the intake tract before and it flaked off. I wouldn' t use it where fuel could touch it.

Prep is critical; clean (so as not to "grind" any oil into the metal's pores), rough surface, clean again, dry, apply JB.
When filling the intake crossover the passage is larger on the 2 ends, smaller in the center. So even if it didn't stick to the walls it shouldn't be dislodged unless the piece of JBWeld breaks in two.

I would go with A+B putty - from Randy at watcon.com
It’s “mon-metallic”, so if it does flake off it doesn’t cause and damage and its cheaper the Devcon or J-B weld.
It can be smooted into position with water and your finger to reduce grinding time.. Many top engine builders use this product. I know of many pro cases on the line filled with this stuff. Also - it's used on race heads for cars also.
http://www.watcon.com/Catalog_Pages/AB_Putty.htm This is enough to do approx (3) sets of crankcases..
The cases, intake manifolds, etc must be beadblasted or scuffed with a grinding wheel for good adhesion.

Some have filled cases flush for more gasket seal area, others say to keep the fill below the surface to allow for gasket expansion when crushed from assembly torque.
Anyone have a gasket seal problem, or gasket extending into cases (blocking airflow) when cases are filled flush? Probably less of an issue if using a metal base gasket.
