i put my intake on today with new mr gasket intake bolts and i think that might have been a mistake i had one that on the third pass it just kept going and wouldn't torque so i backed it out and i am lucky i did it was just about broke in half where the threads meet the shank once out i was able to snap it in half between my fingers i put one of the stockers in place of it and it torqued just fine. any thoughts on this are the mr gasket ones junk?
