Hmm............

I think the kid I bought my 7 from failed to informe me of the large crack on my intake manifold....

I was going thought tonight checking all my hoses etc, felt like removing my throttle body and intake manifold to get a look at the rats nest. When I was taking the manifold off I found that the left side was almost stuck down with silicone gasket sealent and I had to pry it off, then I found my gasket was glued w/ this silicone gook... Back to the subject, when I was examining my intake manifold I notcied a crack on a corner of it and then noticed that the whole corner had been cracked and apoxyed up.... Anyone know of a good site where I could buy a new intake manifold? Or would my best luck just be going to the nearest Mazda dealership and purchasing a stock one...

Thanks

 

IF you can not find a used one ,get your s welded back then level the gasket surface. Some one had a polished UIM and throttle body for sale ,look in the sale forum

 

they are for sale some times on e-bay and the parts trader and even on this fourm. i think you would be better off buying a used one, mazda will most likley want your years pay for a new one
