I've used JB Weld on my exhaust manifold and it worked great.

yeah..grind it down, then spray the area with brakekleen or a similar evaporating solvent/cleaner to degrease it and bring on the JBWeld. You've got nothin to lose.

I sent mine to cast iron specialist welder. No leaks all of last summer and it looks good this year--knock on wood lol Not inexpensive, but the dealer who screwed it up paid for it.
