question on intake mani
 

hey last night was really tired and dont know how but ended up breaking 2 out of the 3 bolts that hold the fuel rail in off of intake manifold. Do I need to get a new intake mani now or is there a way to fix this. Sorry if this isnt in right section but didnt know were else to put it and I know most people look in this section. Well thanks for the help! Also if anyone has a y8 or z6 intake mani lemme know! Nick

should be in engine tech, but awell, ,too late i guess..

you broke the head of the bolts off and it's still threaded in the IM.. you can drill it out and then re-tap it.

OR

if the bolt isn't flush or below the surface level of the IM you can dremel a notch in it and use a flat head screw driver to turn it out.

not sure if you can back the studs out or if they're part of the mani, but i know that i lost two of the nuts once and only had mine holding on by one also, and it was fine :-\ even if you can't back them out, you can grind them flush and tap a little hole and screw a litte stud in there, those are basically you're only options. oh yeah, for next time, those don't have to be torqued down much at all ;)

Take it to a machine shop and have them drill and tap the intake. Shouldnt cost too much.
