I must add, it wasn't my fault. My mate has ported his casings for the Mallossi 210 kit and the face on the flywheel side has a low spot about 25mm long and 0.1mm lower than the rest of the face, can this be sorted using the gasket and gasket paste. If not will a build up of the metal past stuff (jb weld) be enough.

I would have answered that plastic metal, JB Weld would be best but other epoxy's by Plastic Padding would also do the job. Glad he got it sorted.

We were going to use stuff called 'Belzona" Ive not seen it yet so can't comment anymore. I hope it is fixed as I will be left to build the engine and fit it to the frame.

belzona are a construction chemical repair company of very high regard in the industry

the products are industrial/commercial and not available the general public

they do some fantastic chemical metal products - the 1000 range

Im working with them at the moment on a £250k roofing project and have "requesting" some samples of their metal repair products following a demo at their factory a few ago. ;)
