Message So i go to time my engine, get to the point where i had to put the top chain tensioner on.

Go to torque the first bolt, start tighting but it feels weird like its just turning and not getting tight.

So i take it off look at both of the threads and everything seems fine. So i do it agian, get a few turns (only 20 NM of torque, i was being a dumbass :(


So then i feel the dreaded little snap, shit. I knew this was going to happen.


alright, so i'm thinking about this. I have a few options.

Drill it out, heli-coil

Drill it out, re-thread

Go buy a small extractor and use that to remove broken bolt


What does everyone think i should do about this? I'm just wondering, never had a bolt break off in my head before.


if the mods could just leave it up for a little while, that would be nice :)
