Well spent a couple hours cleaning this intake up to find a hair line crack. It's an edlebrock ch4b that was given to me by a buddy. Is it worth fixing?
Time wasted?

I would think so if it can be done for $100 or less but I have no idea how much aluminum welding costs or if there are other easier methods
Most aftermarket aluminum intakes, including these, seem to sell for about $125 or so unless they are Hemi or 6 BBL stuff or rare factory or excellent race parts
That's on the intake runner going into the port right? Is it even an issue?
does it go all the way thorugh to the other side?

Depends on how much an expert TIG welder will charge you.
I'd unclean it and put it on CL...

In my mind I would. To every dirty bastard that did it to me.

I think I'd use it unless it leaks fuel. Check to see if it's goest through to the inside of the runner.
If you decide not to use it I would be interested in it to add to my aluminum intake collection LOL

That's not very honest Stan!;) I've got a guy that will weld it pretty cheap. My weiand has a crack too! Might as well do this one.

Will do tall hair! I think I'm gonna fix her tho. It looks for the ch4b's on the net and could only find 1 forsake prices at 299!! I got another set of these valve covers also. I've started cleaning one of them up. Now it's time to take the kids to strangers to beg for candy!!
Great ... glad you are going to fix it and use it. I don't know why but i like intake manifolds and have plans to mount the ones I have and am not using on the wall of my forever garage one day ... kinda stupid but I think they are cool
Those valve covers are pretty cool also

If any body wants more than $75 to grind and weld that crack they are way too proud of their work.

Just the excuse you were looking for to buy a TIG welder.

Can't do it this close to Christmas, but I have had my eye on that rebel.
