Stripped Bolt...Need Advice.


So the bolt holding one of the COPs in, is just spinning. What's some advice to get it out?

can you get a screw driver under it that way you can put some upwards pressure on it while you turn the bolt with a wrench.

Pate's suggestion works most of the time. If that doesn't work, place a screwdriver on the head of the bolt and give a gentle, yet firm tap to the head of the bolt to help re-seat the COPs insert in the intake. Don't get carried away with this as you can crack the intake.
