Opinons on running car with just 9 intake bolts
yeah, i was a dumbnut and messed up one of the bolts. GM has been backordered on the suckers for ummm about 2 weeks. I havent driven the car since im waiting for the bolt. But question is, would i have any leaks if i just ran 9 bolts? Like just leave the 2nd one back, out or something??
or does anyone know where i can get a freakin bolt over night?? Im missing the whole summer cause of little breaks and crap.

leave out one of the 2 that are close together on the corners, start the car and drive it.. if it drives ok, then it is ok. just no wot stuff till the new bolt is in.
also, if your ltrims do not move away from where they are now then you probably are sealing fine.

dang, can't find a bolt? have you tried goin to a nut and bolt shop, and said screw the dealer?
I don't know about where you live. but dealerships are perveyors of pain in my opinion, only to be dealt with as a last resort. get yer phone book out, go to the fasteners section and find soneone who sells nuts and bolts for a liven. bet they can take care of ya. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
