Missing exhaust manifold bolt
I noticed I’m missing a exhaust manifold bolt got the correct size from advance but when I tried to put in the bolt, it was like it almost wouldn’t line up and screw in. Could the exhaust manifold have shifted up or down causing the bolt holes to bot be aligned?

Yes the manifolds will move you can try loosing up all the bolts and see if you can get it in , but you should change the gasket your you will get exhaust leaks and maybe even vacuum leaks on the intake manifold because they use the same bolts to hold them on .
