Simple Intake ?

I want to remove just 1 of my Intake manifold bolts so that I can attach a ground wire underneath it - and then reinstall the bolt.

I have a Vortec intake which has specific torque steps to follow for the intake bolts. All of the intake bolts are torqued down and I have RTV on the block ends.

Will it screw things up if I remove the 1 Intake bolt and then torque it back down?

thanks

No, you won't hurt a thing by doing that.

Cylinder head ends have unused holes already tapped and ready to go.
