Hi all,
Yes, in the process of installing the intake manifold back on, I am pretty sure that I have stripped the thread with one of the 10mm bolts (I should know better not to work on it late at night.) I was able to torque all the bolts to the spec except this one...one in the middle on the top. When I felt that "softness" through the torque wrench, I stopped and left it the way it is. My question is, would it affect much to leave it the way it is, or do I need to back it out, and fix the thread? I would like to fix the thread but I have no clue what would be the best way...would I need to tap a bigger thread? Then what size? Or may be a helicoil?

Thank you for your help as always.

-Toshi
