ok I’m getting oil on my #3 and #6 spark plug. I have a 98 mustang v6. I toke my lower intake off and found out that it's sucking oil it to those spark plugs. I have new gaskets on, and I broke the back bolt in the cylinder block and cant get it out. So we put some extra gasket seal around it and it's still sucking oil to those spots.i just cheak it and it feels like it needs more or better seal. please someone tell me that thay can help me and that you know ether something better to seal it, or you know how to get the bolt off.i cant get a grip on it to turn it. and the revers drill's not griping to turn it that way. help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:-(
thank you.

with the broken bolt your not able to torque your intake properly. just replacing the gasket or slobbing on the make a gasket will not solve your problem. many auto parts stores sell a helli coil kit. with this kit u drill out the bolt making the hole slighly bigger. then you will tap this hole to thread it and a little coil of wire will screw in to the hole creating a new threaded hole you can use
the same size bolt that was origanly used should be used to give u the porper torque. with the coil make sure it sets slights below the surface so it will allow for proper installation. this will actually be stronger than your stock bolt hole. if you would like place a drop or two or permanent thread locker into the hole before you screw the coil in for a little bit of added strength. many race engines place these coils in the engines from the beginning because of the added holding power they give.
