I was removing my valve covers to change the gasket and one of the bolt just twisted right off.. I tried an EZ OUT and it broke it too. Then I noticed that the threads that go into the manifold below the screw hole was busted. So in otherwords when I hook up the exhaust and I dont but a screw back in that hole the exhaust will come up through the valve cover gasket. I am going to just drill out the screw and retap it and put a new screw in. im assuming thats why the bolt is froze. Will this cause a problem later on, besides freezing up the new bolt if i ever have to remove the valve cover again? also the screw in the Dist. Cap broke off in the Distributor. SIGH!
