SignUp Now!That bolt was stripped on mine new from the factory.Originally posted by QuickWE4
For what it's worth, be careful when re-installing the upper plenum bolt on the passenger side closest to the firewall (the bolt that has the bracket for the vac line). For some reason, I'm not the only one who has stripped that specific bolt upon reinstallation. Helicoil to the rescue.
