Theres a product that autozone sells I "think" its called ThermoSeal.
Its sold in a little jar, its a chunky metallic pastey stuff. You stirr
the heck out of it and mix it up real good, then pack it on whatever you
want to seal. The trick is you have to cure it. Best way is to start
the car/truck up and let it idle a few minutes. If the stuff starts to
bubble, and it will eventually... shut the engine off right away. Let
it cool... repeat. usually takes 3 or so curing sessions. When its
cured properly - it will be bullet proof. I used that stuff to patch up
the hack job exhaust on that old Ranger I had... and I also used it to
plug the smog tube ports in Christine's old V6 exhaust manifolds, when I
removed the tubes. Works exxxxcellent.
