head broke off bolt on exhaust manifold
so today i went to install my long tube header so i took off the heat shield and intake bracket and noticed that one of the heads were missing on one of the bolts. shold i just not worry about it and install the new header and just be missing a bolt or should i spray some good penetrating oil and break it loose with vice grips. but then i gotta go buy new bolts for the header and where would i get them?

RE: head broke off bolt on exhaust manifold
make sure you get the nuts with the metric threads thats exactly what i had to do i got them from the hardware store. also i had 4 bolts that were broken and surprisingly they were easy to get out with just the vice grips and no penertrating oil was needed
