Re: Oil in Coolant/Lower Intake Gasket

Yes, you are helping me remember more detail ... the bit about the two different length bolts. My "problem bolt" was a short one toward the back of the engine. It came out ... but brought metal with it. I think it was cross-threaded a bit by Ford. Since, at that time, the heads were also coming off, I considered installing a thread insert ... but instead merely retapped the threads.

Good luck with yours ... hope you don't have to install insert ... but if you do, ain't that bad ... just make sure to cover/protect the inside of engine.
