I need some input here.... I was swapping out the intake manifold on my 1992 LT-1.
Everything was going smooth, I'm now applying torque to the intake manifold bolts. To specs VIA FSM.
A few seconds later I'm there sitting on my tire realizing what I had just done.....a few seconds earlier "SNAP!".........out of frustration, I grabbed the broken bolt head, applied silicone to it and placed it in the hole........:vomitbuddy::vomitbuddy::food-smiley-019::food-smiley-019:

The intake manifold bolt that I snapped was the 3rd one from the front on the passenger side.
My questions are simple:
1) Will oil leak through there?
2) Will it cause a vacuum leak?
I have no intent in taking that son of a gun intake manifold off again.
