Hey folks!
A while back I purchased a gutted H22 plenum for a new intake setup. I didn't realize at the time that I would be unable to retain the EACV due to the massive air leak created by gutting the plenum.
As the title states, I would like to retain the EACV.
The best route would be to weld in some aluminum plate/filler to block off the openings, but I don't have access to a capable machine.
My next idea is to use JB weld to weld over the holes. I don't know how well using the epoxy type JB will work, as it is very runny I believe. Perhaps the JB stick type putty will work?
I'm cautious to use something like JB for fear of it breaking loose and getting sucked in through the intake. Can anyone comment on this; are my fears ill-founded?
What do you all think I should do here?
