Bah!
I think you'll have to heli coil it now or get a new lower. The intake bolts don't need to be very tight, just enough. Do you have a torque wrench?
When I was talking about the cracking sound earlier, I meant when first loosening the bolts that have been on since assembly, not when re tightening.. if you hear a crack when tightening, something went wrong, like cracked the intake.
The Explorer intake is all you need.
