Default Intake bolt problem
I was changing intake manifolds yesterday and was going through the second torque sequence when one of the bolts went slack. I pulled off the manifold to discover that a female threaded boss on the block had cracked. The top 1/4" was off. I am guessing that the bolts were a bit too short. I am planning to use bolts that are 1/4 to 3/8" longer. Any other suggestions? Would JB Weld work in putting the broken pieces back on?
