I have the day off today and I decided to remove the tube that runs through the elbow on my intake. I wound up dremeling it out. Here is my problem, I accidentally dremeled a small hole in the elbow. What is the best way to seal it back up? Right now I have it wrapped in electrical tape. Truck runs fine no engine light or anything. But I know that this can't be a permanent solution. On the plus side, the pedal feels a little peppier, and wow it was a PITA to get all the little plastic shavings outta there. Any help is appreciated

 

O and not that it should matter, but it is a 4.6

 

it wont be pretty but i would probably use epoxy and a small piece of plastic to cover the hole, then use some silicone over it to make sure its sealed tight.

and yes an unmetered air leak will cause a lean condition

 

Its on the bottom of the elbow, so it don't have to be pretty haha

 

JB weld putty. Love the stuff.

 

All Fixed! epxoy and silicone, with a piece of plastic from the silencer. Thanks guys!
