I pulled off the intake to repair/Heli-Coil the stripped hole in the DS head. Pretty easy repair actually and will be 100% as strong. Also, with the intake off I could get a very clear picture of the bolt hole (a completely different bolt hole) that caused my bent pushrod (because my bolt was too long).
