JB Weld (Quick) and Rotary Temperatures on intake elbow, any problems?

I had to go ghetto, I used some JB Qwik on the greddy elbow to seal up a leak.

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with it being a problem? It'll support up to 300 degrees F, which is well under what the intake elbow will see.

Anyway, I plan on having my nozzles permanantely welded into place when i replace my bunged elbow with a non-bunged elbow.

i'v seen people use it on headers before. So it'll probably hold up on a intake elbow

Here are some before/after. GOOP was used before, but I couldn't find any locally. Everyone had the home improvement crap, but none of the automotive goop.

No problem. I use that stuff to seal off coolant passages sometimes.

I have used it on water passages on 455 pontiac motors making 800hp. It works wonders in a bind. You will have no problem with it.
