INTAKE MANIFOLD OR OTHER CASTINGS OR CONTAINERS DAMAGED
General Information:
Intake manifolds are difficult to repair. Auto body fillers, epoxies, or gasket
sealers can seal cracks.
Holes
will
require
welding
because
of
irregular
surfaces.
Tape will provide a temporary seal on unpressurized air intake portions
but has minimal value for pressurized systems without metal or wire reinforcement.
Epoxy kits will make an almost permanent repair,
if
time
is
available
for
curing.
Follow
the
individual
kit
directions.
