Seldom, if ever, do i see a bad intake. On the older aluminum V-8 intakes in the oldsmobile engines they used a steel intake gasket and the steel would corrode pits into the sealing surface which caused antifreeze leaks.

Most of the troubles that i see with intakes are with the intake gaskets going bad or with vacumn leaks caused by split vacumn hoses or a leaking intake gasket.
