OK so i was working on porting the intake alittle bit and I think I went too far. At first I thought it might be a casting flaw so I started working on the other port to verify, well I only verified that I went too far. the part that I think i messed up is inside is in the part that goes into the lifter valley on that part of the port. I am not sure but it seems liek air/oil might transfer back and forth? could i maybe use lapping compound or osmehting in there? or is this not a problem?

the areas on this image that are red is the side that i am talking abotu that i goofed up on. Its INSIDE not outside as well, i just couldnt find a good image and my digi cam is dead. Also this is not my manifold, its one i found on ebay

waiting on a firend to host the pic for me

I wouldn't use compound of any kind. I'd get it welded. Any machine shop should be able to do that. Shouldn't be all that expensive.

 

why wouldnt using valve lapping compound be good?

 

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you... When you say you might have gone "too far" do you mean you might have tapped into something you shouldn't have? As in you now have an unwanted hole in your intake?

 

yea...like into the part where that extra shrouding covers that goes inside the lifter valley. I tried to get down into it and see how that hole effects things, but i dont have a hex tool big enough
