Well last night i was working on my head and i asked my buddy to tighten the 5 valve cover bolts. when i came back in the garage he had told me he snapped the bolts because he guesses he over tighten them. i took a look and the bolts are snapped in half, the other half of the bolt is stuck inside there. so theres no way i can tighten down my valve cover.


heres how all 5 bolts look like.

If you are going to work on your car you need a torque wrench, since every bolt is suposed to be tightened to spec. If you had a torque this would not of happend. If you don't have one get one before you or your friend breaks anything else.

You dont need a torque wrench for everything, only if your inept at mechanical tasks. LMAO
