Was scoping the broken bolt holes for my exhaust manifold since I intend to do all the bolts tomorrow. I can only assume the threads on these bolt holes don't run right up to the outside of the head, because that's the only explanation I can think of for these smooth holes.

Looks like nothing was broken, the bolts had been incorrectly torqued and had just fallen out. A few others were ready to let go as well. Brand new Mopar bolts and gaskets are in and the truck sounds great.
