915 heads. the divider in between one pair of intake ports has flaws & is missing material & needs to be built up. Would JB be OK for this & if not would you guys recommend anything else? Thank you for your time.

I've seen a lot tougher stuff than that fixed with JB Weld. Go for it.

PM RyanJ and ask him what he uses in ports. I remember him saying that the stuff that he uses(not JB Weld) is bulletproof. -Bob

if something is bullet proof they'll just make better bullets ...

that aside Moroso A B epoxy ...

but JB weld will probably work also .

JB is good on the outside cracks, But not IN the ports where it can do some damage if it comes loose.

We use a bowling ball epoxy here at work. We order it from a place called Baker & Collinson 1-313-366-2100. Not cheap though, its like $150.00 for a 1 gal. unit part A & B.
