Well, not impressed with the 4-minute JB Weld I used. Car was idling rough again for my wife today, so I checked when she got home, and the repaired port had cracked again right though the epoxy. I re-repaired with more epoxy, building up a substantial thickness. After partial cure, I wrapped the whole mess with aluminum tape, topped with liberally applied coating of RTV. Then I ordered the new assembly. Hopefully this time it will last a week or so 'till the part arrives.
