I'm Awesome
I was installing my intake when I stripped the two bolt holes indicated by the arrows (below pic). It looked like the bolt holes had previously been drilled out just a bit, or is that normal? Anyway, those two were the only ones that gave me any trouble when I cleaned them with a tap. I think I partially stripped the first few threads trying to insert the tap but I finally got them done and it seemed like there was enough there to get the install done. I got the intake on and got the bolts finger tight. Then started tightening using the correct sequence. I first torqued the bolts to 20lbs with no problems before going up to the listed 35lbs. Both of these bolts stripped when I attempted to torque to 35lbs. All other bolts are fine.
My question is: Do I remove the intake, drill/tap the holes? Or is there the slightest possibility that this engine will be fine as is?
