Re: PO has me PO'd

got the intake gaskets on...felpro 1255. Bolts sealed and torqued to 11 ft. lbs. Black RTV used top and bottom, 4 corners got an extra portion at the block

now, on to the cooling, see if the electric water pump works

NO, not that bad, but money is a hard thing to come by these days...and the fact that I did something stupid, I should have gone with plan 'B'

BTW, I have something very similiar to that happen to me, another story for another day, maybe around a campfire with a beer

Someone should be able to tig it, just not me! I can't find a welder around this area for nothing, so to save time I will just buy the GMPP intake

Are you into your new budget yet?

I am. I've started accumulating parts. The UPS guy actually asked my wife how the truck was coming. He's been by my house fairly often over the past couple of years.

Re: PO has me PO'd

I have a guy out here that could TIG it for you, but that's still a 1.5 hour trip.... that sucks.

Thanks Mike for the offer, I may take you up on it someday, right now I want to refocus on my build and not my foul up. It's worth a road trip to see ya any way, and a member may need this intake at a very reduced rate

plus I have in-laws out there...

I can TIG weld that intake for you. I have fixed quite a few over the years.

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

could you give me a rough estimate of what you might charge so I can figure how much I might sell the intake for...

Thanks for the idea, are you talking about the member sourkraut? I wanted to talk to him about powdercoating something anyway??

It takes about an hour to prep it, weld it up, machine it to the right shape then re-thread the hole so figure $50 to $80 labor & materials depending upon how much of the boss is damaged and needs repaired. Yours doesn't look too bad so I would say $50 to $60.

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

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...
