CRACKED MANIFOLD.!!!

Hi i posted awhile ago about my motor acting weird...well i took it to the shop to get the intake manifold gaskets replaced...i went back to check on it and as soon as they got it off there was a whole in the intake manifold and a crack in it so now i gotta replace that...my question is how does that happen exactly cause those things are pretty solid....its just a question to see how this happend thanks.

Without knowing where the hole is exactly it's next to impossible to tell.

Re: CRACKED MANIFOLD.!!!

Where is the hole? On the mating surface side? Maybe someone used something to pry the manifold up and cracked it. A pic would help quite a bit here.
