Blown inake question

surfbeast · 10-16-2003, 05:52 PM

Well, it finally happened. That damn plastic intake finally cracked. Its leaking just a little below the thermostat. The big question is this: Would it be safe to drive it for a few hundred miles? I'm going to the Cherokee Rod Run tomorrow and need to drive about 200 miles or less RT. I won't be Hot Rodding around or anything, only crusing there and back. Will it leak into the engine or only externally?

Thanks

I drove mine around for along time and did not know that it was craxked. It was a very small crack.The only way I found that it wsa cracked was because I was looking for another problem I was having. You should be okay but I would definitly get it fixed, You should go with a upgrade. I went with the ford motorsport intake I am very happy.
