the middle one in front of the oil dip stick, the hole is stripped and will that manifold crack?
Oh and how do you fix the hole that is stripped?

Buy a stud remover, drill it through, hammer it in and turn it counter clockwise.

if it's stripped, you'll need to recoil it, becasue the next size up is 10x1.25mm which is too big for the manifold flange hole.

Was the bolt taken out to stop the plastic on the dipstick melting? Someone suggested I do that on my Drag mani, as the bolt transfers heat to the dipstick apparently.
