So I was swapping over to my new PI intake with the metal crossover, and putting the new intake on...and whatcha know? Bolt snaps off deep within the cylinder head[:'(]. Not just any bolt...the one bolt holding on the passenger side of the water crossover. Plus it was like the last bolt in the process of re-assembly so I had to go through all the steps to take it back off again. SUM B*TCH!!
Now i need an easy out- or if I can't get one i guess im just going to drill out the bolt remnant and use my newly aquired tap and die set to re-tap the hole.
Moral of the story....Dont work on your car when its like 31 degrees outside...bolts become extrememly brittle- I wasn't even torqing that little bastard down yet.

Yeah I spent hours on the paint pic lol. I'll be painting Patrick's calipers in the early afternoon- then i'm going to try and get this thing worked out. Good luck with the GT if you go and look at it!
