Well its been a year and I never finished my install because I grinded all that i wanted to on the thermostat housing and my AIC valve is paper thin. Is it ok to grind on the plate itself? I bought a NX shark nozzle but never got around to installing it because I really want my plate!

I will pay if someone helps me out in fontana ca.

 

Yup, NO recommends you do this for the install.

 

I just ground down the IAC housing and water pump/t-stat housing. It was scary how thin it was getting, but it works

 

Just did mine, take your time and do alot of test fittings.

 

Same here. Now everything fits fine.
