Default installed plenum spacer

got my motordyne 5/16" today. i installed the isothermal gasket and the spacer. went out and raced a bit, i think i gained a bit of hp. however, i stripped a bolt (the hex bolt which is round on the outside)when i tried to remove the throttle body. does anyone know how to get them out?

thanks

Why did you try to remove the TB? I don't recall having to do that when I installed mine. Was over a year though, so I may be mistaken.

If you don't have the necessary tools/skills/friends, take it to a reputable garage to have it removed.

the TB doesnt have to be removed, but I removed it so I could completely take off the top plenum. It made it alot easier IMO.

the bolts are really close to the TB, do you think it will get damaged when they try to remove it?

Can see your point there, now that I think about it. It was a pain in the *** to install mine because the upper plenum kept getting in the way.
