So i was finishing up the isothermal gasket installation on my car and was using a TQ wrench I rented from the auto parts store (yes it was in inch lbs) and as i was tightening the lower plenum down to the rear intake manifold stud. Anyways, I called the dealership and even looked on courtesy parts and they want $~40 shipped for the stupid *** stud. I bit the bullet and bought one because I have no choice.

Let this be a lesson to everyone

 

You should've contacted Tony from motordyne. He would have sent one out to you... I broke one during spacer installation and he sent me all new replacements, FREE
