87 intake water port questions

[TRiv]

After removing an 86-7 intake, has anyone ever seen some deterieration around the water passage ports (@ manifold to head)on the manifold? Just recieved a 2nd intake (been bead blasted- ebay sale) and there is some metal corroded away around the water ports, looks like it should be inside the gasket seal but getting close. Has anyone repaired and with what? TIG weld, Devcon, JBweld, etc. Rest of manifold is fine.

You could trim the gasket to fit the passage.

But if you want to add more metal, the best and strongest way to do it would be to have someone tig in some more metal and then grind it smooth to match.
