Re: head or head gasket
Manifold bolt or head bolt?
If its just comming out the manifold bolt i wouldnt be too concerned The bolt hole has prob been drilled to deap and has entered the water galery. Just make sure you use some sealent on the bolt when you re-fit it.

Yep, as ruff said, the bolt hits the water jacket, just seal it up and pop it back in. I've had this happen a few times.
