Of course the threads gave out on one of the intake manifold holes and I had to use a timesert on it. I was pulling the manifold because I had once again stripped the threads mounting the throttle body and couldnt fit a drill in the space. Im laying in bed cursing Porsche, M6/M8 bolts, and Aluminum as a material... lol and the I find and old thread by @Tom, who "has stripped all of the threads on his manifold". Helped me find peace and fall alseep. Thanks for the great community and support group! :wtf:

Hi Bob! You're among friends here!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm addicted, but I really don't want to quit. Is there any hope for me?

Sometimes you just have to crack a cold one and formulate the next plan of attack.

I think the wise thing to do would be to get a parts car for the one that doesn't run. :thumbup:
That's what I'd do!
