We all do it!
Also, torque values exist for a reason. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Learn to love your shop manual. |

...any of us here who have broken off a single bolt on a 40 year old ride knows your pain.
And, we all know that it's much more likely that each of us have probably broken much than a single item on these cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I've personally enjoyed relearning all my long forgotten head bolt removal skills (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Good luck on the next round dude. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) The lights really help but it's mostly 3 weeks of vacation. I pheasant hunt until noon and work on the car until my wife and kids come home. I think this is the last year she's going to let me get away with it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |

The torque spec in most of the repair manuals have the wrong number. IIRC it's only 13-16 ft lbs

At least you didn't do that with your heat exchanger on a freshly rebuilt head. Then drill a hole for the extractor. Only to have the extractor break in that same hole. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) You got off easy

I don't need no stinking manual. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Actually it would be a good investment. It would have saved me $20 so far. What's the best one out there? |

Are the parts were galvanized?
We had the same issue with zinc plated flywheel bolts. |
