I don't know if I should cry or laugh (I think I'm just going to laugh) about what has happened a second ago. For the past few days I had been working on my upper plenum with dremel and removing some material which I taught wasn't necessary, I've also polished it inside and removed all the castings. I've not finished polishing it fully yet, i've only finished it up with 120grit sand paper and I was planning to finish it off with 400 or 600 grit.
Anyway, I need the car tomorrow, so I washed the plenum, I've made sure to remove all the aluminium dust from every nook, then I proceeded to install it on the car. Well I was tightening the bolts on top of the plenum and then the plenum has cracked :banghead: It's not hard to guess that I've removed way to much material in some places weakening the plenum. Right now I'm way to past to even look at what I've done, I might have some photos to follow later on.
Now how do I solve the problem of needing a car tomorrow when my car has cracked plenum. I wonder if any of you guys keeps around a spare plenum by any chance
