we also broke a vac line but that was it

See, I thought there was only one hidden bolt.. but thats why the intake plenium says theres 2 hidden. I was actually looking at it and wondering why I couldn't get it off. Only found the first one because of reading about it being covered in oil, but the dogbone mounting bolts actually stop it from being removed. Only because I'm putting the bolts back where they came from. Just so I don't have so many parts on the ground.

But so far nothing has broke, but my coolant elbows were replaced 15K ago.

I'll go look at my plenium.....
no warpage or melting, but the LIM has a metal stovepipe??
