It looks nasty, but if rebuilt stock, I don't think it would show any difference on a butt or real dyno.

Looks like a job for Devcon, if done right! We did cosmetic repairs to small turbine engine intakes with Devcon, (Garrett TPE-331 maint. manual)! :think:

It took about 8 hours to get completely apart, still need to get the cut studs out. Think I will weld on 8mm nuts and make it easy. I just started on another motor
a few days ago and the cylinders came off with out a problem :D Going to need a few more vin stickers soon Rick. :thumbup:
