Pi intake drill and tap issue

[sn95jones]

So we tapped my intake last night and low and behold my buddy didn't do it completely straight, my question is what can I do to fix the gap?

weld, redrill, retap.

other (red-neck engineering) methods may include using excessively large amounts of tephlon thread sealant.....

Go snag a plastic crossover from an NPI intake?

Use silicone. Its pipe 3/8 thread even if its not stright the threads is what seals it the sensor doesn't have to be screwed all the way down.

jonesy. you can always tap it larger, get a plumbing adaptor and run it that way.

probably be ugly as ****, but whatever.

my car is riddled with plumbing fixtures:

Don't listen to chris, bigger is not always better lol

 

[MustangChris]

will that not work? lol.

whats that sensor look like?

 

[330CubeGt]

There won't be enough area left to tap Iarger I assume depending on how much of an angle its on.Ive prob tapped 20+ intakes and not all have been straight lol

 

[sn95jones]

So what do you suggest?
Wait nvm lol

Get it fix?.
It might be a lil oval..

Not fixed yet. Since im am very VERY short on funds ($6 in my bank account) im pretty much up shit creek.
The first 2mm were not drilled straight that's why. Just need this fixed so I can drive to work
