Message	I made the mistake of torquing my rod bolts with a Harbor Freight POS and was torquing my #4 piston when all of a sudden I had no resistance. It sheared the damn nut right off the bolt. What do I do? Can I replace the bolt that is in that rod with out have to take my heads back off and remove the piston? HELP! Brock '90 300zx N/A coupe Converting to Twin Turbo!
