Intake Plug & GLUE?

Does this plug Glue to the top of this intake hole?

Mine came off when I tore my LS engine down? Suggestions on what to use for glues? RTV?

Re: Intake Plug & GLUE?

it was most likely plastic welded from factory and is now broken.

1) maybe clean the bejesus out of it, skuff it up with course sand paper and use a high quality plastic adhesive glue.... what goes there... brake booster is on the back of the intake correct?

2) replace intake

I have a spare intake I'd let go for cheap if you want to replace it. Just let me know.

Re: Intake Plug & GLUE?

Find a plug and use a soldering iron to melt it back in place. I have done this many times with no issues. Depending on the size, you could even thread it for a pipe plug and screw in a plug. This is an easy fix.

Thanks guys!

I was thinking JB weld, but I like the soldering iron way, better. Will give that a try!

On mine the PCV valve connected there, and yes the brake booster came off the back of the intake.
