Default Snapped bolt on water pump....

Doing the timing belt and water pump change last week and I over tightened the lower left bolt on the water pump. I freaked out about it and cursed like crazy but I got over it. Now I was short on time and needed my car later that day since this was early in the morning so I put everthing back together correctly and it's all running pretty good.

When I installed the oem pump, I used hondabonda and torqued the bolts down correctly so I think I'm okay. Yesterday I had the valve cover and timing belt covers off and decided to just check so see if there was any coolant leaking around the belts and/or at the bottom of the crank pulley and luckily nothing at all, clean as a bell. So am I okay for now? I do plan on getting it fixed, but it won't be for a while now cause of funds.

Fixing it shouldn't cost if you anything if you are doing the work yourself.
You need to remove the waterpump again, you may be lucky and the snapped bolt maybe accessible once the pump is removed -if not, take the time to get it out and replace the $1 bolt. Making sure not to over tighten anything again.

While you are waiting to repair -make sure you keep a close eye on your coolant levels.
