Yes, the "TOP 10" bolts can be used (the ones that bolt down the intake), but the lower 10, the ones that the intake sit on, will need to be replaced. These lower ones are the valley cover bolts (and hopefully did not crack the lower portion of the intake already).

Rip it back apart and replace the "lower" bolts...

You might get lucky bro! You never know...The one that I cracked has 2 of the heads of the bolts that cracked and popped through. Not pretty!

hey whats up so it looks like the bottom was cracked inside and dented outside. so i started to rip it apart to try and do a thin layer of epoxey and noticed that the gasket inside had alot of gasket maker holding it together and to top it off had alot of oil and sand looking metal contaniments inside. so i was pissed and called my buddy to say wtf, and so i got my old ls6 intake and stuff back. also looks like the shop that put his intake on is idiots because they didnt ever change the valley cover bolts on his block either so it was laready cracked anyways
