Broken intake manifold bolts
Hello
I was wondering if anyone could help me with some information. I have a di injector thowing a code once in a while so thought I would replace all 12. I went to start removing the intake manifold and broke 3 of the 3 bolts I tried. The truck is not infront of me at this time. I have read that I can get them out with left hand drill bits and easy out. I also read that the intake manifold bolts into the valve cover nutserts . New valve covers would be alot easier, could someone clear this up for me?
the truck is a 2018 F-150 xlt 3.5 ecoboost.
Thank you for any information.
