Either you didn't lube the threads before inserting them, or you reused tired, worn out studs.

I already told you in your last thread, get a FSM to get those other specs.

that's on the cam assembly holder for the rockers on the head. not head bolts and it should be torqued over 15 ft lbs no wonder it snapped...you went more then double the tq spec... smdh
