Nothing beats old school! Love the old tech. My Asian neighbors all have Teslas and EVs and all that modern ugly stuff that all looks the same. They'll never understand the beauty of a real old school classic car. Also JB weld can come off on a smooth surface. To get it to stick carve some grooves on both surfaces. JB weld bonds better on rough clean surfaces because it'll give it something to grab onto.

I hit it with a red scotchbrite.. I just didn't get it on video. A file would have probably made more of the chunky surface you're talking about though. Great tip and I'll definitely do that when what I put on this time... falls off :D

i think when you jbweld the intake bridge you block the hole where an allen key would fit to adjust it,i am blocking vaccum leaks on my 18rg too

[@oioracing]

I definitely noted that I blocked the holes that would be needed to access the inside bolt holes that hold the bridge down. I’m hoping that the 2 outside holes and rtv will keep it from leaking. I don’t know about the adjustment.. I’m sure I messed something else up there too. Time will tell I guess.
