That's what I was gunna say.. when I did my power log last month some of the manifold bolts were a little stubborn until I hit them with pb, but none of them broke. What I did snap was a crossover bolt. Even after I put pb on it, it was pretty stuck, and the last time I tried to turn it the head of the bolt snapped clean off and my elbow smashed off the dogbone so hard...

I weeped for almost 5 minutes.
