Intake Manifold Snapped Bolt

Idk if this is the right place to post this, but the bolt on my COP for cylinder 3 was snapped off when i bought the truck. They stacked rubber hose pieces to try to keep pressure on it, but i wanted to do it the right way. I went through like 5 easy out sets and spent the whole day trying to remove the old bolt, but kept slipping off and drilling the aluminum.

I thought about gluing a bolt upside down and screwing a nut on.

1. I bought this metal resin on amazon https://amzn.to/46ISvXj (this might be my associate link, sorry if its not allowed idk how to remove that option) and 25mm M5 bolts to avoid other bolts snapping https://amzn.to/3H63gIV

2. Bought flat head machine screws #10 .75" with nut at home depot.

3. Masking tape mold to hold resin and screw.

4. Mix that stuff on card board for 3 minutes and drop in to mold.

5. Place screw.

6. (optional) I shaved down the brass ferrule to account for the neck of the machine screw, but i probably just wasted time doing this.

7. I replaced all of the original COP bolts with new 25mm M5 from amazon (possibly affiliate link https://amzn.to/3H63gIV)

8. Wait (package says 24 hours, i waited like 36)

9. Reassemble... (I put the rubber hose back on the fuel rail for extra stability because i dont think it will hurt anything)







Hopefully this helps someone.
