Yeah you definitly do not want screws around in the manifold. One screw alone can wreck the whole engine. It gets throught the manifold, then through the intake valve and can get into the cylinders and the piston will slam it and wreck that cylinder. This is not somethin' to mess around with. Now if it's stuck in, I'd do the above responses. The way I read, it sounded like you lost it in the manifold itself.

RE: broke bolt
I did this EXACT same thing last Nov... caused by picking up the WRONG torque wrench and torquing down the pan in ft lbs instead of in lbs...
yanking the bolt was easy... went to sears and got a 4 piece extractor set... drilled a shallow hole in the piece that was in the manifold and used the extractor to pull it out... it was pretty easy and it came right out.

RE: broke bolt
Thanks for all the help. With the extractors I was able to back the bolt out and finish with project. You would think all a happy ending. Well this morning I wake up and there is a smal puddle of transmission fluid under the truck. Nothing I did with the plenum gasket should of caused a transmission fluid leak should it?
