Man that's crazy, I've never had trouble with bolts breaking Closest thing is the studs in the water jacket on the timing chain cover.

Rounded the heads off.. Going to get a bolt extractor tomorrow.. it's my fault. . Tried to remove the one by the ps pump with the pulley on. Put the socket at an angle. . Same with the head bolt.. the brake booster put my ratchet at an angle. . Need to get a short extension. .

Congrats! Hopefully no snags on the reinstall. If you wanna spend a few extra nickels, its worth getting the intakes checked for warpage at the machine shop as well

Man I left the intakes fully assembled. Fuel rails inj harness imrc tb egr all still on them. . At this point I'm just ready to get it back together. I'm already over budget.

I know what you mean. I was just thinking while you were in there. I know my lower intake is warped because I have a solid vac leak between the two, but am letting it ride for now.

Like I said before, just follow the torque sequences. Though, you are probably pretty well versed in the art of TTY bolts

Never liked using tty bolts. . This will be only the second time ill use them. .
