Message	This would be the 4th time i've had them off and on the engine and it looks like one of them stretched and then shot the head off across the garage. FYI I had torque wrench set at 90 ft/lbs. it just kepts spinning and I grew suspicious and stopped wrenching, then POP. So does anyone know for sure, if and how often these need to be replaced?? ==================================== For what it's worth.

More like 65ft/lbs I thought (n/m) - Evan_Wright (Ca) 20:59:50 04/10/13 ding ding ding.... we have a winner! from FSM= 61-69 ft-lbs (n/m) - Zvil (FL) 21:26:57 04/10/13 you're not supposed to re-use them at all... but people do - Shiers69 10:32:16 04/11/13 oops (n/m) - aliaZ 14:25:48 04/11/13 You likely stripped out the threads on that bolt hole also. - TriniTT 15:02:06 04/11/13 bolt stretched and broke off outside of the crank. - nemo1080 (Iowa) 15:59:51 04/11/13 I'm not understanding what actually happened. - TriniTT 15:48:00 04/12/13
