First, what made you think that 50 lbs was the right torque setting? That is a 3/8" shank with coarse threads.
The number I get for an iron intake is 40 lbs.
Secondly, you can weld a nut to it and back it out.



Now, this is with a bolt in the frame rail but it was flush with the rail. I just filled the hole in the middle of the nut with weld and backed it out.

Engine, Transmission, Rearend, & Exhaust / Snapped Off Intake Manifold Bo...

Last post by HeavyFuel - Today at 06:54:47 PM

Last time I bolted down the intake manifold, No pipe dope was used, so oil weeped up past the bolt.

So today, I attempted to remove and replace the bolts one at a time, adding the dope to each.

Maybe I screwed up and didn't take into account the now lubricated bolts, cause one snapped off before it would take 50 lbs of torque.

Has this ever happened to you guys (probably), and whats my best course of action to remove the bolt?

It is broken off just barely above the surface of the cylinder head.  My math says there is probably about 1/4 inch of bolt sticking through the other side of the head.

Remove the door handle/armrest window crank and door card/liner. The upper door pad can stay. Undo the nut for the adjuster and screws to the mirror.

Not set up for a fuel cell and any major race car modifications, so it's just some Saturday night hobby stock / bomber / claimer from a local track. Wonder if he'd sell it for claimer cost?
