Paul,  what are the maximum temperatures the  intake (in the housing)

will see?   I am selecting the epoxy to bond in the P port throttle

bodies.    I did contact Racing Beat to see what they used.  It is

Devcon but which specific product I could not find out.   I bought what

the sales person "thought" they used but it is a repair material about

as thick as peanut butter.  I want something that can be poured and is

self leveling.  If WEST can tolerate the temps,  I may go with that.  I

am open to advice from anyone.       Jerry

Epoxy works great. The temp is limited to about 200 F heat soak.

When running it is cooler. There are some high temp epoxies that work at

300 F.

This Aeropoxy product looks like it may be just what you need:
