Intake manifolt nut broken
I was replacing my intake manifold yesterday and while torquing down the last nut the attached washer shattered. Proper torque value was used. I am going to the dealer today and getting new ones all the way around. Anyone considering r/r of manifold may want to get a new set.
While I had the front end off, I replaced seals for everything I could see, such as crank angle sensor, dipstick tube, the inner O-ring for the waterpump/block flange (mine had a small leak). Now I know to get new intake manifold bolts.

Mini Madness has exhaust header bolts, not INTAKE manifold nuts. (yeah I know I spelled "manifold" wrong, it was a typo)
Went to the dealership yesterday to find out the intake manifold nuts are not available right now, they are having to make new ones. I wonder what's up with that?
I will call around to a few dealers to see if I can find a set. I am going to replace all 5 I guess.
