!AIR Gone WRONG! Well for the last 4 hours and 30 min I have been changin my spark plugs and wires so I fiugred id do the AIR mod well the I got it all off fine went to put the block plates back on got on fine but the drivers side wasnt snug and was moving and causing a leak so I took it off and found that the old gasket was shitty so I pryed that off and tryed to flatten it out and put it back on well still didnt work so I try to take it all off again and the front bolt Broke Idk what to do I got the back one out, carefully I might add, and put 3 washers to hold down the block off plate better but it still leaks really bad so anyone have any ideas? should I try to get a new gasket and stick it on or will just one Bolt not hold down the plate? Any help would really be appriated or are there bolts that are fairly small and easy to thread?The front screw is sticking up slightly maybe enough to thread a bolt on it.

A lot of the time with broken bolts, its easier to justgo to the machine shop and pay them 20 bucks. they have the good tools and broken bolts are a major frustration.
And its pretty neccesary to get two bolts holding down that thing. RTV alone does not do much.

Could not have said it better myself. Try using liquid wrench and the above mentioned. Resort to drilling if the bolt starts breaking shredding off w/ the vise-grips
