A little late, but it was for your last post.

 

bluestacy04 - Very glad to hear you were able to get the bolt out...can't even imagine the feeling you must have had inside you after you did it! Gee...wonder what words flew out of your mouth!

 

Exactly. The intake manifold bolts require very little torque hence the reason for the super soft and easily snapped manifold bolts. It's better to break a $0.70 bolt and snake it out than ruin the threads on a $400+ manifold. The steel bolts provided by MD can cause major damage to the manifold if you overtorque because the bolts will not give, the manifold threads will. If you overtorqued the MD bolts, the chances are good that you've fubared the threads and will not be able to correctly torque down the factory bolts if you ever remove the spacer.
