That's what I did. These intakes can be brittle.

But yeah.. If you can find the piece, grab some liquid JB weld. Or the Matco epoxy.

Ok call me an idiot, but what's the point/ benefit of removing the webbing? It's there for strength anyways isn't it?

Coolant lines run under the intake manifold. If you don't have coolant block off plugs for the rear and another front coolant pipe, you have to grind the ribs for it to fit.

Default MarineTex
The stuff is great. A friend used it on his cracked block on a marine engine. Held up 6 years. Sold the boat, and the new owner never had any problems.

Regular Dremel (craftsman dremel is about the same) with the rotary cutting bit.
