Intake Plug & GLUE?
 
2 Attachment(s)
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?

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.

JB Weld

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.

Thanks, going to try and plastic weld it with the old soldering iron first.
