  • How bad is this crack (intake manifold)?



    I've been hearing this awful air sound once and a while after 4k rpms, wondering if this crack is finally starting to cause me problems.

    That TB/gasket was NOT flat when you put it on...

      are you saying I overtorqued the TB and cracked it? That would make me feel really stupid.

          Let me be gentle here.....

          The mating surface of the TB and the surface of the intake were not smooth or flush. Something raised the edge near the said screw while torqued down, caused this crack.

          Yep... it was you
