How can I get loose bolts on my manifold?
I was wondering also if it would help at all to heat the manifold with a torch to get them loose. To remove the remaining bolts, take the torch and heat the heads of the bolts until red hot. Then let them cool back down. This will cause the heat to move down the bolts into the threaded sections causing them to expand slightly.

How do you remove a bolt from an aluminum intake?
You are correct, the bolt holes do penetrate the water jacket on that engine. If the Kroil and tapping do not loosen the bolt enough to turn it out you will likely pull threads from the manifold before snapping off the bolt head but, not a guarantee. Anyhow, if the bolt head snaps off tapping the housing side to side will get the housing off.
