Oh my days! I just broke an intake manifold bolt while replacing the gasket. Now I regret not getting a torque wrench. Is it safe to drive with one less bolt? or do i have to pull out the old and install new one? What is the part number for these bolts? Any help appreciated!

If its leaking then there should be some level indication in how the engine runs/performs i would think, if it were me i think would just drive it as is if it ran ok, the issue i think might be a problem is when heat causes expansion and its not bolted down evenly.

I was worried about the leak too, just ordered a reverse drill bit to see if I can pull it out.
