Anyone know the coefficient of thermal expansion of JB Weld?

no they go under the lim to head gasket ....
Wouldn't you need 2 gaskets then? One on each side of the the plates?
IIRC the space lifted doesn't affect anything correct?

use gasket maker between the plate and the head. then the lower gasket between the plate and the lim. the lift doesn't effect anything.

FYI I use JB Weld to permanently stick the plates to the heads. It works great for me and you don't have to worry about ever messing with gasket maker again.

i bought a roll of gasket material and used the plate as a template and made a gasket for under the plate

as said before by others...I will second and third to tell you to buy the bugzuki plates now that you have time for them to come. You will not regret it since you will save a lot of time by not having to JB Weld anything and just throw those plates on. From what i just experienced with a recent swap, they work very well and make things go much more quickly.
