I had my intake runners off for a cleaning today. I noticed that the O-ring housing on the left rear cylinder was dented pretty bad. The dent went inwards with a hairline crack along the outside.

I don't know how it happened, or how the injector O-ring even managed to stay seated with a dent like that in there. But it does explain the leaking fuel I'd always notice when the car was running.

I tried heating the metal with a blowtorch for 5 minutes before attempting to bend it back but the dented fragment broke right off.

So, my question is, it there a happy ending here? I think someone with some welding skills could probably fix this thing, but how easy is it to track down a spare intake runner for a 914?
