JB Weld to seal timing case gasket from the outside?

Does JB Weld 2-component adhesive stick to rubber seals? The issue is the rear timing case seal that has been pushed out, i.e., between the cylinder head itself and the timing chain housing.

The engine is losing oil through a leak and before the entire cylinder head has to come off I would like to try the JB Weld.

Will the adhesive attack the rubber seal or not stick to the rubber at all? Apparently, it's possible to use it on plastic and metal. If it doesn't seal and needs to be done, can you still remove the cylinder head without causing damage after gluing?

There would be a repair kit more suitable.

JB Weld would at best keep the high heat variant.

But that’s all Murks and there’s a new cylinder head seal.

The repair set could be suitable anyway.
I’m sure there are other brands.

Hello

That has to be put in place, why is the seal even pushed out, which was then pulled too tight!

Let’s go to the workshop.

A repair is required, it must be looked exactly, possibly only the control cover must be sealed and not the head.

Everything else is Murks and has no stock.

The picture is bad! To dark

In short, this will not be dense, will not stick to oil residues, and will not prevent further pressing out of the seal.

Sealant!

Super cleansing…

Glue does not hold and then costs a juicy price in the factory state.
