Matt broke off a manifold bolt, which also happens to be the bolt that holds on the dipstick, when installing the PLog.

No, it broke off inside the head. If it had just broken, and been able to get out, then Jovan had extras, which, BTW, are still here, lol.

put the camera in macro mode and shot as close to the PLog as possible. This is what I came up with. According to various sources, this is not as bad as I'm fretting about.

An easy out should do just fine on that, it's not the easiest to get to, but atleast it's not the rear manifold!

Unfortunately it would probably be easier to get out with the plog off too.

Kyle...how difficult was that to do? It looks really, really nice and I would love to do something like that to mine.

Looks like a great time and it is nice to hear that people met others they had only communicated with here!!
2000 SSEi (Silver Eagle) cleared corners (before accident) new LIM gasket, drilled 180 T-stat, new plugs and wires, new valve cover gaskets, new Supercharger gasket, third brake light overlay. Hopefully soon to start more mods for performance. Also, 2005 White SE totally stock and will remain that way!

Thank you Bob & Vince for your hard work and kindness!!
