I'm probably kidding myself that i can run it like this but, my number 7 cylinder bolt was broken off in the head. I tried drilling it out and extracting it but to no avail. I'm gonna try to run without the bolt and see what kinda leak i'll have. I never heard any leak before and that bolt was already broken. Just wondering if anyone got by like this.
BTW: how the hell do these bolts break? Factory over-tightening?

 

My header bolt fell out and it was in that same spot. I had a major leak and fried my gasket. You're going to want to fix that.

 

I think it has alot to do with the fact that most LT1s are higher milage, and I have heard some people think that breaking bolts is beacuse of the fact that the bolts and the heads aren't made of the same type of metal.

 

It will leak for sure.

 

I couldn't get the header bolt in for the #8 place and had no leak when i turned it on or drove it. I guess i was lucky.
