Stripped intake manifold bolt

[splintrcel]

I had dumped coolant on my engine and caused two cylinders to misfire. I pulled one coil pack out with ease but the second coil pack bolt had seized up caused the thread insert in the manifold to strip out. Anyone else have this issue and have an easy solution. I was thinking of cutting the bolt head out and getting the thread insert out of the manifold and making a new one. I really don't want to get a new manifold over one screw.

I have the same issue, but I run it that way, Took a paint stick broke 2 parts off stacked on top of each other then bolted my fuel rail down to hold the coil in place. Made sure the injectors didnt leak and so far so good. Redneck fix indeed

having the same problem...I'd go as far as trying JB weld and form threads for that bolt.

Would something like this work? Basically it's JB Weld as mentioned above, but comes with a release agent so the bolt comes out easier.

A little late now but when you reistall the bolts put some anti seize on the threads.
