Gen5 I give up! Engine is junk

2002 2.4 W/147,000 miles. Trying to find a water leak has a bad outcome. The head gasket was leaking under the intake manifold. The car has never been overheated that I know of. Ordered all the parts but during repair I could not get half of the head bolts out (12pt socket head did not hold) and the center three on the intake side cannot be tightened. Engine is clean inside and shows little wear. I just don't understand what went wrong, for as many Camry's out there this problem is not unheard of I guess it's just my luck. I love the ride, room and mileage but don't think another 2.4 is in my future.
