I tried the aviation grade permatex stuff but the best bet I think was the 1194. It's the goo we use to seal our two stroke engine cases. Fuel proof! Yeller's still lookin sharp Chip!

(Crosses fingers) Seems to have made it better. This motor's been weird since we had it done 6-7 years ago. Hell, I dunno. We'll see. I tried the skim coat trick the first time, I don't even think it touched it. We've run this same intake all this time, I think it's been a long term thing.

Thanks, John! Boppa gets guys stoppin' him all the time about it. Interestingly, a lot of 'em are pro body guys, it seems. Which is, I guess, a nice compliment.
