Cracked intake manifold heater hose

[jpratt]

While swapping intake manifold I overtightened the heater hose fitting and put a small crack in the manifold. Only about a 1/4 long. Is something like this repairable? How bad is this gonna be for me? Probably a new intake, just my luck.

any half decent welding shop will be able to weld up the crack properly, once welded drill it out to the correct size as shown on the tap and then rethread the hole. welding any area that has coolant has got to be cleaned thoroughly for a good weld. probably best done off the car (without seeing a picture it's hard to tell on the severity of the crack).
