Bolt's gone, FINALLY!
I picked my intake up today. $30 to drill and tap, and they even left a replacement bolt in there for me. I had it done at western auto. They had to burn out my ez-out. I think $30 is pretty good considering....
Anyway, hopefully tonight I can go get some new gaskets and silicone, then I can put this thing back together tomarrow.

Alwyn: They've been here forever. They are very busy here, because they do a lot of small engine repairs(lawnmowers, etc). Thats most of their business. When I walked in with my intake, there where like 5 chainsaws, 10 lawnmowers, and a head off a truck they where rebuilding. When I picked it up, everything in there was tagged and ready to go, and there where more chainsaws and mowers, etc.

Re: Bolt's gone, FINALLY! (Cruzmeisters)
ok, Im at another stand still. I cannot continue until I find one other person willing to help. Im hoping my friend will get off work soon so he can come help. All thats left is to drop the intake(I guess I could do it myself, but the $%)$^ is heavy, and I don't wanna mess up). Then that same person needs to help me put the hood back on...after that they can go about their merry way.
The friend I found to help me, is ALWAYS over here when I don't want him over. I finally need some help with something, and he's busy...go figure.
