Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Well I was bit by the BOMBing bug- and while changing oil decided to kill a little time removing the breakoff screw on the AFC in anticipation of finally getting gauges- and so I could find a matching replacement screw. After removing the 4 intake bolts, which were badly corroded, I noticed a small pile of what appears to be bits of aluminum corrosion from one of the bolts and head. I know that stuff wasn't there before I pulled the intake 'elbow'. Is there an easy way to get the grid heaters out of the way so I can get a vacuum hose in there? Or, do I have to completely remove the intake cover and grid heater assembly and risk messing up a gasket? Or... dumb question... is it ok to let that junk stay in there and risk it damaging the engine?
I can't believe how corroded these bolts are- and that they're not blind holes... I know this can't be a new thing- my brother said his were rusty when he pulled his as well but didn't have anything noticeable fall into the intake manifold.
