Hey all, well i decided to be a fool and remove my air induction manifold. looks like i got more than i bargained for, just like i was afraid of. the bolt that holds the manifold to the engine casing near the #6 cylinder (closest to the A/C comp) broke in half while removing it. the other three came out fine. i pulled the manifold off (WOW is it dirty down there.....) and there's about 3/16ths of screw shank sticking up from the cylinder side. just a jagged little beastie. i've got it soaked in liquid wrench right now and i hit it with a hammer a few times to maybe break the rust holding it in. i tried getting some vice grips on it and i can get them to grip it good, but that's with both tips of the grips touching the casing. unfortunately the screw does not come out that way - it's more up and down than it is perpendicular to the casing. know what i mean? in other words, any turning motion you put on it is not the correct angle of torque to remove the bolt. i went to sears and bought a craftsman bolt extracting kit that will work with metric bolts. however i'm a little bit afraid to use it because of the angle of drilling is so odd - it's not straight up and and down and it's not perpendicular to the casing. let's assume the worst and that i cannot get the bolt out. what would you do? just screw the other three bolts down good (of course i would get new bolts rather than use those old stressed-out rusty things)? that seems just WRONG, but is that all you can do? or would it be better to make a gasket for the left-hand cylinder wall and hope that seals it ok? or is this stupid and the ONLY way is to get that damn thing out??? any tips, insight, etc are GREATLY appreciated!
