broken stud
Hey Fellas, this may be a stupid question but I broke the very last stud in the intake manifold of my 360 apon rebuild. Everything else torqued up fine and actually this was the last bolt to brake.Its in the very back and is that short stud. Am I screwed or can I possible get by just leaving it. Thanks DJ

I would say better get it out and replace. That is sealing the area around the back waterjacket in head. I would say you will find a leak sooner or later, especially in the the rear intake port. Not a good thing.
I know taking it off is a real pain.....but better now then on the side of the road somewhere.
