Default Dent in intake runners
Any way to repair dents in the intake runners or do I just look for replacements? Anyone got any for sale they would like to part with? I'll post in the parts wanted if they can't be fixed.

Thanks!

I think I answered my own question with a bit more research. Looks like I will be ordering some steel ***** from McMaster Carr!

Mine are pretty bad. I'm thinking they will be my practice set.
