the intake seem to be all plastic, but it looks like there is some type of sealant or jb weld on the front of the motor down to the right of the alternator, im not sure exactly how to explain it. maybe tonight ill get a pic of it on here

lol, this should be fun to see. Sounds like the intake already cracked and was poorly repaired.

i wouldn't say they were really up on things, from my experience with them they are jerks and like to charge you extra for things/ tell you that you need things you dont. also they take forever. ill never take another vehicle there
