Seems like such a bad idea. It's not a thousand dollar part. Just replace it if it's broken.
Epoxy usually doesn’t bond too well onto plastic, especially one that heat cycles as often as the intake manifold. That said, what have you got to lose?
Can you fit a short screw into that hole? Might be better to do that combined with some epoxy to fill in the voids.
Many You Tube guys with higher end salvage rebuilds do this.
Go for it!
If it does not work, then you know what to do.
Did it arrive like that?
If so send that crap back
That will definitely be the plan if this doesn't work out.
Seller might then say it's your problem because you messed with it, plus the time and labor wasted pulling it back off to swap out later.
Get a refund now and move on, there is no shortage of cheap Euro manifolds in great condition.
