Scrapes on Intake ?'s
When I installed my engine a while back I didn't realize it until the next day that it had just barely not cleared the stock hood, which scraped along the frame of the hood. SO, there are some scrape marks or area's that have been grinded off the very top of my upper plenum.
Is there any type of bonding or molding material I can put on the top, then sand down a little, and have it look as though I didn't have clearance issues or scrapes on my intake?

that is the image and you can clearly see the area's on the plenum.
thanks!

Because I had a busted motor mount and that's where the car was for the past few days, lol. Figure'd I'd take a picture of it for people to at least see lol. Fixed it yesterday though!!

UUUmmm yea. I think you found your problem already. If you thought about it hard enough you could have not wasted your time posting. but anyway at least you have it fixed now. I need to replace mine but it doesn't lean at all.

I took that picture like a week ago, and I don't have a camara I borrowed one for that day, but that image was on my computer, so i decided to use it... I had the engine hoisted for a few days since I can't just lock up a solid few hours at a time since 1) no garage here, and 2) i work until 11 at night on most nights, so i was at work when i posted this originally.
And what do you mean posted it today??? My question was regarding the scrapes on my intake plenum in which someone just said jb weld which should work, not the motor mounts, that was a completely separate issue lol.
