I swear! If I did not have bad luck I would have no luck at all. So I bought a used intake plentium and engine head all in one piece quite a while ago with the intention of cleaning it up and selling it for a bit more than I paid. Anyway I wanted to polish up the plentium get it ready for sale and this is what I find once I take it apart. Anyway I don't think this thing is usable anymore...what do you guys think?

Top Half



Bottom Half



And this is the only spot where I could tell where it got hit. Likely in shipping.

i think you could have used BIGGER pictures for claritys sake!!!! Jumpin jesus....
other than that, they're kind of a dime a dozen, so i would cut your losses and get another one.

Have the cracks welded, and then clean up the welds. Who cares if it is pretty, you dont see that part anyways.

Tim I could have gotten larger pics ;).....Yea I think I'll do like you say and cut my losses. I only paid $75 shipped for the entire top end shipped. Only thing it did not come with was the cam gears.

looks like something smacked it....

weld it? haha...no, id just get another one...hit up the 99 cent store. its not like its ported to hell or anything.

yea.. NO WELDING! you'd pay as much if not more than the manifold for the welding becuase its aluminum. i had to pay 60.00 when i blew thru my manifold trying to make the inlet a true 60mm for my TB

as a matter of fast i have a spare intake top and bottom that i am looking to get rid of reasonably

i dont have the bolts that hold it together but if you are interested pm me

JB Weld :P

at least it isn't like a plastic neon manifold, the manifold is pretty beefy though somethign musta hit it hard.

I only mentioned welding, because some of us can get it done for free or dirt cheap. I guess i shouldnt assume everyone has welder connections. :shrug

Hit up e-bay, I got a tb and the manifold for 2 bucks plus about 6 bucks shipping.

Smartass. Actually i am getting welding lesson #2 tomorrow. Building a stand for my vice :D

your floor boards didn't fall out did they? :+

just to let you know, it's an intake plenum, not a plentium. To get back to the topic, I would agree with just finding another one. They're around for pretty cheap.

that sucks, i probablly would have bought it from you too man. Let me know if you are gonna weld it/polish/etc. :)

oops!

As for fixing this, *shrug* I might polish it up to 'hone' my mad polishing skills (j/k). Bryan if you want it its yours for free! I'll bring it with me when I come over there in the next month or 2.
