Do you guys think I can JB weld the hole? Do you think it will hold?

Not going to help to patch weak plastic, if the hole is near the EGR... see below.

Plastic Intakes..should have at least made them out of Lexan... wouldn't need a scanner to check for knock. :-P

Does this <the section I Bolded> make you feel better? This is from partspros.com. dig around, prolly find one for $80 shipped.


3800 Series II Intake Manifold
Item # 3000002

$129.95 Brand New Dorman 3800 Series II (VIN K) Upper Intake Manifold
This redesigned intake features:
Increased EGR wall thickness to resist corrosion
Reinforced structure to withstand an engine backfire
New plastic & silicone gasket already installed (a $35 value)
This improved intake has been redesigned to eliminate the weak area that causes the OEM intakes to fail. The OEM manifolds fail due to extremely hot gases from the EGR tube which corrode the plastic area around the coolant passage. This causes a coolant leak into the engine and symptoms similar to that of a bad head gasket.
