Intake sealing and blocking the heat crossover

kiss said
So you actually cut the stainless plate to fit down inside the heat crossover hole, and epoxied it into place?

What happens when the epoxy burns off? Wouldn't the stainless plate fall down into the head? Or am I missing something?

EDIT: also how thick of stainless plate?

Stock port on cast head is fractionally smaller than cutout in pan gasket. Effectively intake manifold keeps it in place by pressing it onto head. I cut it butt fit into cavity, then epoxied with Pratley epoxy.
