Hi, I hope you can help me on this one. I don't know if it's normal. One of the studs screwing in the head completely exited when I took the manifold out.

Now I try to drive it back in, but the stud goes naturally in an angle. When I look over the engine, the stud is parallel to the other just beside, but when I look in front of it (to see the inside of the engine for example), the one I try to screw is higher than the other.

But, the block isn't striped and the stud isn't stripped. I want to know if it's normal or I better just don't screw this stud, or I'll break into pieces if I screw it like that.

Thanks for your reply!
