Hello, I've been lurking around for a while learning as I have been planning my first LS swap in a 55' Chevy. Just getting my engine together after collecting all my parts, and have some concerns about my intake. I searched quite a bit, but couldn't find any input on a similar issue. I recently bought a LS6 intake for my LS1, and I noticed the runner opening on the #1 cylinder had a little bow in it.



I pulled the gasket to look closer, it looks like it may have a small crack/separation in the gasket area. See images to better help explain. Will this cause any issues, or am I safe to run it as is?

 

As long as the gasket seals it, I wouldn't worry about it.

 

Thanks for the input, guess I'll give it a shot.
