Intake Leak

I Broke Off One Of My Bolts To Seal Down My Fast Intake It Is A Middle Bolt On The Passnger Side .. What Are The Chances That I Will Have A Intake Leak

I Figure Id Just Snug Up The 2 On Each Side Of The Bolt Down And Pray That It Would Provide Enough Force To Seal Being You Dont Need Much To Seal The Thing Anayways

But Im Not Too Sure It This Will Work

How do you break a bolt on a plastic intake? What are you torqueing them to?

do it right. dont skimp out on something important like your intake. If it starts to leak down the road your going to have tunning problems.

The worst thing is the car not running right and you not being able to figure out why. Dont be lazy about it and fix it right.

The worst thing that could happen is you go really lean on one or two cylinders only and take out a piston.

well i got modivated and fixed it today .. i went back to the stock bolts that came with my ls6 manifold.. they seem to be a much better bolt and are easier to install

thanks everyone for scaring me into doing it right i feel alot better that i just went ahead and fixed the problem before it became an issue
