Intake bolt sheared off - fix?
So I'm removing my old alternator bracket, getting ready to install the A/C compressor bracket. The bolt located directly in front of the thermostat housing on the Edelbrock Performer manifold sheared off. These bolts must be stainless, they weren't marked any grade, like 5 or 8, but had an 'R' stamped on top (for 'Racer' I suppose?)
Question: Does anyone know if this bolt goes all the way through the intake (to hold it on), or is it one of those that is just there so you can mount brackets? Is the procedure to replace, if I really have to, to drill out the center and use an EasyOut? Is the manifold cast aluminum? Any special precautions? Thanks,
