Crackt Vic Jr. Intake....

[piss-yellowducecoupe79]

Well my Vic Jr. Intake #2 runner cracked and seemingly pushed out the gasket. The #4 runner cracked also but not as bad.

I called Jegs to get a replacement and they told me to call Edelbrock......
I called Edelbrock and they told me to send an email with pics. Did that 12/20. No answer back. And they are closed till 01/05.
So, called Jegs again hoping for a different answer. Sure enough, they tell me to send it back and they will send a new one. I asked if they could just send me a new one and I send the crack one back so my car won't be down for as long. They told me I would have to pay for a new intake and they would reinburse me when I send back the cracked intake. I chose to pay for a new intake. It's BS but what can I do but bitch about it.

This sux....

weak i always thought the vic jr were better then that. but they are the reason i dont hold much faith to people who say their sheet metal intakes(bbk ssi) suffer from such bad heat soak

Yeah, I'm disappointed. I was just thinking about getting edelbrocks new intake for the LSX when I switch to Fuel injection but If this happens again I will not do it.

I had a Edelbrock Air-Gap intake on my old SBC and this Vic. Jr. is not on par with the quality. The casting is not as good as the Air-Gap and now this...

I think you're these second time I've heard of with that same problem with that same intake..

I think the other time was someone who also went thru Jegs and they exchanged it, no questions asked. F*K'd up that they dicked you around tho..

[piss-yellowducecoupe79]

Yeah, 4 a little while I thought I should have gone through Summit. But sounds like they're gonna take care of me now.

[piss-yellowducecoupe79]

So, I got the new intake 2day. It looks better than the older one. The casting is much better and the area that broke is thicker. I think they got it right this time. Now we'll see if Jegs takes care of me.

Here are pics of the cracked intake from the under side. pics were taken wit my cell, sorry for the suck ass quality and the new much betta intake

Did u over tighten it?..i dont see how it could generate enough pressure there to blow out the gasket like that.

[piss-yellowducecoupe79]

I don't think that over tightening it would result in cracking the intake. See the bolts that hold the intake are 6mm. I think the bolts would either strip or break before any thing else.
Although I do agree that there is not enough pressure there to push out the seal like that.
