i broke the intake manifold?

[johnwc723]

when i was replacing the o rings on my injectors, and i was screwing the rail back on to the manifold one of the screw things that comes off of it just broke off as i was tightening the bolt!!!

anyone got any ideas for this, do you think i need to try to fix it, or will the seal be alright without it?

it was this one:

g=good
b=broken

X X X X
g g b g

thanks!

I bet it works fine without it, but I'd keep an eye on it for the first few hundred miles to be sure. I saw an LXi manifold in marketplace if you're worried about it.

it should be ok unless there is a hole in the intake runner itself

[johnwc723]

cool, thanks i hope its all good!!!

It's fine, you didn't damage the manifold, and a thread extractor can get it out if it worries you in the future.

Take out the broke stud and go to parts store or Honda and buy new stud.I would replace because their is alot of pressure in those injectors.

yeah, maybe i should replae it! arrg, i havent noticed any problems yet though.

I think if you turn it wuth vicegrips the stud comes right out.
