New member so don't be too harsh on me...

So here's the deal. I had to replace bad knock sensors on my 05 Eddie Bauer. Everything was going fine until I snapped one of the intake manifold bolts. Broke it off quarter inch from the head. My hands are to shaky to try and drill it out and I'm low on funds at the moment (hence why I did it myself). Will I be ok to drive 40 miles a day til I get the money to have a shop do it or should I leave well enough alone and not drive at all? Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If it doesn't leak and will run without issues then drive it. Just make sure you take care of it soon. Only you can be the judge.

Search Amazon for "Shop Iraon 16023"

The thing was a lifesaver for me when I did that job.
