47/8 A Temporary Manifold seal?

[oldmanandakid]

It's time to test fire the engine but the intake manifold gasket appears to be leaking. Is there a temporary seal I can rig that will allow the engine to run for a short while?

Water jacket holes were fixed with JB Weld....thanks for the encouragement guys.

High temp (red) silicone gasket maker will work for a while. I use it regularly on diesel manifold gaskets where the manifold has eroded. It never has to be replaced. Your problem is that gasoline engines produce higher temps. than diesel so it probably won't hold up for long.
