Ya I already did that. Originally, when I mocked it up I torqued down the bolts and that one broke. I had to drill and tap it out and in the end there was few threads. When I finally bolted the intake down for the final time just now, those threads didn't hold, so now i don't no what to do.

Yeah man, these guys are right on with the Heli-Coil.....that's a lifesaver! You can pick up a pack at damn near any auto parts store. You simply use the Heli_coil with your drill and it basically re-taps the hole while inserting a new thread coil.
