    broken cam cage bolt

    As the title says i broke 2 out of the 4 10mm cam cage bolts that holds the spark plug tube down. yesterdy i went to change the lower tube seals and went to take off the bolts and they were tight. When i cracked them loose , 2 2 of them came up without threads and the other 2 were fine. i dont know what to do so i put the other 2 back in and 1 of the broken ones because it caught and torqued them. the other on was a lost cause. I really dont have the money to do the whole head right now and i need opinions on how to temp fix this.thanks

    none of them broke off?

    I would try to re-tap those holes and get some replacements bolts from a junkyard.

      did you remove the bolts in the correct sequence in order to prevent too much torque being applied on once side of the rocker arm assembly?

          Sounds like you should swap your head.

            I'm your friend I broke one of the long 12mm bolts today in the center of the cam cage, I was installing it but it looks like I bought a defect clicker torque wrench cause I didn't hear it click so I torqued the others with a normal wrench and stopped when I felt them tight ..... gonna run the car tomorrow after I finish the valve adjustment .... so help me GOD
