Recovered a BIG Oops!
While I was changing out the engine mounts for some BMR polyurathane ones, I had to take off my intake manifold so I could raise the engine higher and remove the old stock mounts...
I rushed to put the IM back on and decided that if I wasnt gonna use loctite, that I would just tighten a little harder than normal. Well, I paid the price. I got lucky with an easy out The IM bolt is special order from a stealership and is 25 bucks! Can you believe that?! |

Those bolts are only torqued to 104in/lbs and in sequence. Glad you got the broken one out.
pg 76 on a pdf viewer shows the sequence. http://www.techafx.com/sites/techafx...structions.pdf

Yea, convert that to ftlbs, and you can see how easy it would be to snap that head right off!! Gotta always check those torque specs!!
