It is possible to give it some texture similar to the sand casting too but that takes a bunch of time.

Re: PO has me PO'd
My kids (and wife) are the same way.... I would be opening a box and they were all excited, now they ask "what's in the box" and I reply with "truck parts".... "IT'S ALWAYS TRUCK PARTS FOR DADDY!" is the average response...

It will look good when done just not like it was unrepaired. The repaired area will be smooth and not sand cast finish. You can rough it up a bit but I haven't been able to make it look exactly like the sand cast finish.

Re: PO has me PO'd
I just thought about checking in to see how that EFI fuel filter worked out, but I see you've had other issues. Too bad about that intake. I agree with 68 TT on fixing that....that's an easy fix. It seems odd to me that you couldn't find anyone in your area to fix that for you. There are lots of fab/weld shops around here, of course not all of them know how to weld aluminum.
I hope your luck gets better. ![]()

![]() The intake didn't take long to get rid of, so I don't have to find a fab shop... I'm looking at the GMPP intake 12496822 w/ an adapter plate to get it from a square bore to a spread bore I think I understand what happened with the galling, seems that the tolerances were wrong on the thread pitch of the fittings. I'll check out Aeroquip this time

Re: PO has me PO'd
Quote:
I have had a few new intakes not tapped deep enough for the fittings to engage enough threads. I typically run a tap into the pipe fitting holes until the fitting gets as many threads into the intake as possible before it bottoms out just to give the intake more structural integrity. That may have been part of your problem. Too little engagement area at the boss so it put too much force into too small of an area on the intake. If the hole wasn't tapped all the way through you could have bottomed out the plug and caused the damage that way too.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Could not tell 100% but is that a water port? If interested I could weld it up for you. Is the easy out still in there? We can get that out and fixed up to. Will pm you.
