Update: I removed the thermostat housing quick to see what I was up against. The bolts are fine. I stripped out the upper bolt hole (thankfully not the lower). So I guess I get to learn how to tap a thread - hopefully without removing the intake again. If the existing bolts are 5/16x18, is the idea to go up one size and tap out 3/8x?? threads?
Also it looks like I did use some RTV with the gaskets, so I'm not sure where I went wrong. Maybe the thermostat slipped down?
