Guard for fuel rail. Guess I'll keep it if it doesn't get in the way.

So you're saying I shouldn't drill it and use an easy out? The main two I have to get out, aren't sticking out the head, they are recessed inside it about 1/8 of an inch. Nothing to really weld to.

Also what are good replacement manifold bolts? Oem replacement or what?
