Plenum smell?
Ok, I took my plenum off earlier for some porting, this is the first time I have had it off and it has a strong gas smell inside it.. Normal or not? Thanks everyone...

very easy.. took me like 10 min. it did take a little bit of presure to get it off of there tho, with the runners still attached to the manifold... but all together, easy... good luck and have fun...:lala:

gas smell is pretty normal... the FI's are right there and sometimes the fumes can rise up on ya. Thats what basicly blackens the inside of the plenum
