I needed to use it due to after the motor build for some reason the intake runner from the air distributor to the head bound up when all bolted together, it
wouldnt allow the intake runner to mate well to the head and stayed cocked. so i used the matabo or 6" Cut off disc grinder and removed 1/8" or the runner
tubing that hides under the runner boots. chamfered and cleaned everything up and it slips in and fits perfect with a good seal at the head. this would
explain why when i got the van it was never bolted down on the center air distributor. got run c-ya Jonce
what is a mattababy?? c-ya Jonce

2) intake leak at the head to the runner! basic fit issues resolved with a matabo.

What's a matabo? Is it something like a mattababy?
