This is at the “dead end” of a water jacket port. Water will be flowing into this cavity and then through the small hole in the gasket. Scale and crap buildup in these cavities over miles. That epoxy is trapped. Even if it did break free from adhesion it is still not gonna go anywhere but sit...

The jb weld must be done right You need clean metal behind it no rust Build it up higher then the head shortage and then flatten it down once cured (file / Sandpaper) The water port is outside of the head gasket fire ring so I think you will be fine Jb weld it is you must but I would not be...

You need the 97 ranger wiring book and the 97 explorer book if the explorer was a 4 door it could be tricky to get two doors working only
