OMFG... putting cam covers on. tourqued it and bolt snapped...
ok so i was putting my cam covers back on. I used the 20 ftlbs sequence
found in search
20 lb*ft torque from the inside-out and top to bottom. - #'s 1 to 10
The last two on the outer edges are only 7.2lb*ft. - #'s 11, 12, 13, 14
13 9 5 1 3 7 11
14 10 6 2 4 8 12
and the first bolt I did broke in half at like 16 lb ft.... my wrech is pretty damn accurate.
WTF is up with that? Did I mees up somehow and what can I do now? I have a bolt that I can threadinto the whole that is larger but im not sure if thatll work allright. I need my car for road trip friday and motor isnt exactly in car...
is that the right specs? Im scared to tourque the rest now....
THX guys
