Iv been told that the housings fuse 2 the manifold? Is this tru i removed the bolt and couldnt get it out so thought id leave it till a day were i had more time and i think if accendently crosstheaded the bolt its tight but u can still move the washer with abit of force is is still ok 2 drive 2 work and back or should i get it fixes asap? I ran the car till the thermostat opened nd had no leaks but im still worried bout it

[vpcalais6]

Just buy a tap the same size as your bolt and do it yourself Bunnings even sell tap and dye sets
