Broken DP/Header bolt
So I was out in the garage trying to get the RRM exhaust manifold on and I snapped the head off one of the 19mm DP bolts. Is the DP threaded or is it just the manifold side that is? I'm hoping thats the case but I doubt it. I really don't want to drill it out or pay a shop to do it.

Next time, you ever do an installation like this... Use some WD-40 and let it settle for a few minutes. Then take'em off.... Best to avoid having this happen.

^Yeah, it doesn't always works. My brother and I tried to break off some rusted nuts/bolts on his Integra to install new struts. But ended up actually breaking two Craftsmen sockets in the process. Oh well, free replacement horray!
