B6304 Cylinder Head "defect"
I created this little problem. Warning! -- cut the timing belt before removing the cam cover from the cylinder head.
I didn't and now there are cracks in the lower head on the faces which receive the cam shaft front seal and a small chunk of aluminum missing in this area.
Is there anything I can do to help this from developing into a leak? How badly screwed am I now?

thanks tech - was waiting to see if you would weigh in on this! I'm going to carefully try to get a bit of HST-2000 in the cracks, but agree with you that whats missing is a fraction of what is keeping those seals from popping out! If the brazing rod doesn't look like its going to work I'll put it back together as is and just keep an eye on the flame trap to ensure that the crankcase is breathing easy.
