For the guys who have been modifying their throttle bodies, what have you used to block the small holes in the throttle body to prevent filings getting into the openings?

I noticed that someone, probably EZ Boy used some form of white goo.

Any ideas?

Thanks Ken

epoxy steel has worked great for numerous carburettors and TB's ive sorted out.

That tends to permanentlly block the holes, not something from what I can see the OP'er is after :D

Something temporary was what I was after. Still, it's good to know what I can use to permanently block holes. :D

Tape on the inlet and bluetac on the rear. The vac line holes clean out after with compressed air.
