    Snapped bolts in my head..... 60k miles ago

    2 years ago I was doing my valve seals.
    I was using a ft lbs torque wrench to approximate in lbs.
    Things happened quickly, and I ended up going further than I meant to.
    I heard a terrible screeching noise. Panicking, I ignored it and put everything back together.
    The other day, I did my valve cover gasket, and adjusted the valves.
    I touched the bolts along the back row, and this one was loose. I used a magnet to pull it out.

    Cylinder #3.
    MRT
    37.5 MPG, AC on, cruising at 80.
    30.0 MPG, AC on, aggressively driving around 90.
    27.5 MPG, no AC, cruising at 90 with occasional gridlock. 40 degrees Fahrenheit

    Lots of DIY videos specifically for our car

    Get some awesome wipers! <-- It's a DIY

    Your an idiot lol. If I can't see it it doesn't exist! Since there is no clamp load on it drill the center and reverse the thread on the inside to pull it out. Lucky you haven't had any problems.

        Currently, my plans are to just leave it and hope I never have to remove it. It broke off right at the threads, so It'll be loads of fun getting it out.

            no worries.

            It was just ironic.

                Then you need to check your tube seals, the bolts are there to seal the back part of the seals, as well as secure the cam.
