Anyone have a source for the upper intake manifold bolts (plenum) other than the dealership? Two heads stripped out now I have to drill them out and find replacements.
Local auto parts bolt bin? A couple can be replaced with regular bolts. If a socket fits the hole, you're good no go. I replaced a couple of mine with regular just forgot which ones
If you stripped them out, it's likely not just the bolts that need replaced... Steel is harder than aluminum. The threads on the lower manifold are probably fucked.
A torque wrench is an invaluable tool if you want to be a backyard mechanic. Get one ASAP.

Hopefully they came out.you may get them by tapping in a bigger Allen head and it'll grab. Worst case you'll end up CAREFULLY drilling the heads off. They can be a bugger. Good luck
