Default Inside of a busted FAST

Here's a look at the damage done to the bottom piece of the 3 piece FAST 90 manifold. The damage was caused by installing the manifold w/o changing the valley cover bolts, as explained in my other thread. Just thought it was interesting. I'm not going to try the JB weld fix, as the damage is too severe, and it's broken in 6 different places. I'm ordering a replacement base piece, but it will be a challenge to put it back together, as it has extensive gasketing, and liberal amounts of black RTV to clean and replace.
