My two cents .Like the others I would avoid any heat related solutions , or if so just solder . JB is probably a good solution but you could consider a high temperature silicone. The gauge is shallow and its on the inlet valve the colder of the two and would have the gasket go into it some what . Dodge has the suggestion that you could most likely feel the most confidence with , decking a block is common on a rebuild these days

My solution would likely only be appropriate for me to apply. I, therefore, chose to not comment.
