The epoxy repair was about $490 to remove and replace intake manifold, prep engine block, apply epoxy. They said a lot of time was spent trying to dam up the epoxy as it ran down the block.

I provided the epoxy JB Weld based on "word of mouth" and a search here since there was post regarding the same fix to the problematic 960 blocks.

I still smell antifreeze after driving, but haven't had the time to check it out in detail. No obvious drips like there was before the repair.
