Sorry about the cat and I appreciate your looking out for me. Future intake is just that, future = maybe next year, maybe next week. We’ll see.

Small Update. As I mentioned earlier, I am not at all thrilled with these stainless M8 x 1.25 threaded inserts (about $10 for six) but, they served the purpose of threading into the M10 x 1.5 Heli Coils I mistakenly used. I just don't think I could trust them to torque even to just the 17Flbs...

I agree and have similar observations on all points. Shape of the tank, approx number of gal. left at each quarter on the fuel gauge and the quality / longevity of the unit. I had a couple of long civil, conversations with Leroy on it and, in the end, because of the electrical resistances...

The "Pretty Car" it is. 2024 VW Atlas Cross Sport. AKA, "Pain in the Atlas" Pleasant to drive but, too many electrical gremlins. A subject worthy of another thread.

Pictures of a butchered out upper and lower intake? Or do you want to see the pictures of the spacer and its morphing through development...from idea and concept, through wooden mock ups and a rough cut out by a local machinist, to a CNC'd piece that was once anodized, sorry, Purple? The...

Humpty Dumpty is back together. The insert going into the Helicoiled hole didn’t want to play, hung up and sheared off in the hole. Hmm. Off to ACE Hardware for an extractor. Good thing the wind isn’t blowing 40mph with snow threatening. Oh…wait…. For a very pleasant a change, the thing...

Did that with the first intake. Did a lot of cutting on the upper half too trying to "improve" air flow inside. Still had to have the EGR on top since it is all open to atmosphere otherwise. Funny story (in hindsight) about that involving an SSDiesel 1st run 'Cold Air Intake Filter. I was...

Would be a good deal and I hope someone can make use of it. Obviously the "F" intake is the desirable one and the only one I'd personally want. The lower "S" intake is the BUFF (Big Ugly Fat Friend) in the pairing. Only thing I'd use it for is to cut off the mounting holes to weld on to my...

No. That would be too easy and would have been the responsible thing to have retained. Apparently, according to the guy who took it off, it was 'lost' when removed. :mad: So, the material will have to be added a layer at a time and then ground back to shape.

Here's what I got now. RED: M10 Heli Coils with the repair inserts. BLUE: M8 Heli Coils only (As I thought I was doing but....) GREEN: Thread Repair Inserts Only. The top one has yet to be tapped and the 20mm insert installed. I meant to add in the previous post, the spacer is why I chose to...

Another change I made was getting rid of the "S" intake system. I found this current one in 2009 while visiting the Salt Flats. There's a local shop that was swapping in a 454 for a customer so I bought the upper and lower for $150. Obviously, prices have gone up. My old S intake had a bunch...

Thanks Will. Some of the HMMWV intakes I've seen attached to the heads with bolts dropped in vertically. I know some are also like ours but, hate to take the chance on a listing without pictures and I have a solution to things.

Thank you and I greatly appreciate the offer. It would be a good fit for me as I don't use an FFM anymore either. However, hang on to it and perhaps sell it on E-Bay for a quick $200+ as this one will be fine now and I've got a solution to the other one.

I do have a back up intake that, internally, is nicer given it is the extrude honed unit I got from 635 many years ago. Unfortunately, it has a broken ear at the #7 runner. I noticed that one of the middle holes is also Heli Coiled. The mystery of my AWOL M8 Helicoil is gradually getting...

Decided to start a separate thread since this 'what did you do to your 6.5' episode is getting drawn out. So, What did I do to my truck's upper intake? Almost FUBAR;d it but, "Hodge Podge for two hundred Alex" and discovered several solutions in order to un boo boo this thing. Issue: While...

RE: Sludge. BLUF: Heads and rockers are fine and yes, a valve job is in your future but, not because of the sludge. A few years ago I wasn’t running my engine for more than a few minutes every couple of months (chasing what turned out to be valve issues). I happened to remove the CDR assy and...

I know you’ll clean things up regardless but, a magnet would help determine if your rockers are iron or aluminum in the meantime.

There are seemingly a bunch out there and a lot in Canada ($$$ for shipping I'm sure). What I saw were either 'Call for price' or between 125 for the upper and 250 for the lower and most sites aren't differentiating between the two. The yards I called yesterday are closed until Monday. E-Bay...

I F'd up my thread repair job and am using thread repair inserts to attempt a correction.
