RE: what type of manifold gaskets?
one of the bolts did have RTV sealer on it when we pulled it (I dont know how many people had this car before me... but I assume they were idiots...
so it could be locktited on for all I know..
now a torch melts/screws that stuff up right? I know the expansion/contraction of the metals does cause the bolts to loosen. I think....

the heat from the touch will get the bolt nice and hot and it should come right out. when your heating it up dont heat the head of the bolt heat where the bolt is in the block. so basically you wanna heat the threads that will get it out

then took an open end to it and just stripped the hex to pieces somehow.....

take all your open end wrenches and throw them away.. Anyone with a decent amount of automotive knowledge knows that you dont use an OPEN end to remove a tight bolt.. you use a 6 point box end, or IMPACT socket on a breaker bar

well, I'm sorry Adder... I made a mistake... people do, to err is human...
I tried the breaker bar and all that happened was the socket cracked in half....
