    Is it a air cooled cylinder?

    If so you can just lap the head and torque it down

    If its not flat, put a circle of wire solder arond the bore and torque it down

    If you feel creatatif, you can cut a circle out of a beer/pop can with ordinary scissors and use for a gasket

    You can also cut a groove in the head or cylinder for a copper or stainless wire o ring
