The previous owner stripped out the threads on the intake where the AiH goes. My mechanic pulled it and put oil resistant rtv. When it was leaking again 40 k miles later I bought the riff raff delete plug. It just barely grabs the threads but backs out. Can I have this welded in place or does anyone have a solution.
thanks

Why not just weld a new bung in there but different size and plug it? Then you have it available if you need it down the road.

Thanks for the replies I’m thinking trying the jb weld for a temp solution before an up comming long cruise. Seems it really needs something to stop it from backing out instead of blowing out. If that dosent work I’m going to probably have it welded. The set up is the afermarket 2 piece spyder and I don’t plan on ever changing it. Additionally looking to add a boost gauge on to the aih delete plug. If I had the tools on hand I would have already done a set up like 350 suggested and tap the new plug always feels good when a repair beefs up a part.

This is what I was referring too. Remove your plug, measure I.D. order a female threaded weld in bung that fits in the current bung, buy appropriate plug for new bung. Then you still have the ability to use the fitting down the road.

I’m hitting the machine shop in the morning they said they can weld it quickly. The truck is it in CA and don’t feel like spending the time sealing this one as the welding should be one and done while retaining the boot gauge fitting.
