Default I found a hole on the bottom of my intake...

Has anyone ever seen something like this?? As you can see in the second picture it is right under the PCV valve...Would this create a vac leak or anyhthing? Should i patch it up?

No don't patch it that is how the pvc valve sucks out the crankcase.

wussup fellow South Carolinian, does this hole looke like it was broken or like it was made that way? If it looks like it was made that way then I think you should be ok. But I would think that would be a good place to have oil drop back down into the lifter valley. Also I am not sure, but I think you are supposed ot have another metal shroud that covers all of those allen bolts.

on a side note, I have an intake that I am port/polishing that i can sell ya if you need a replacement, but I dont think you should have to replace it.

On the other hand this is what the intake now looks like.
