to be honest i didnt search at all LOL. but anyways, what happened is i noticed when tightening the nut on that one stud i could feel it never torque down like the other did. i could always keep turning it more and more. so i got to thinking that whats happening is that the stud was pulling out of the head through the threads. well the night it came out i tightened it down all the way just because the flange on the mani was warped and leaking like a biotch (3rd time i had all of my **** apart in two weeks due to warpage.... THANKS JGS! ). i pulled all the way out and took the aluminum head threads with it. the fix was easy and only took 5 mins once i had all the **** apart. i didnt even drill it out to a bigger size like the helicoil kit suggested. i just stuck the tap in there and got it started and had it bottoming out as far as it would go. now if it was steel, itd prob be a different story... anyways, the fix works perfect.
