Didn't even make it to the 9ft-lb torque spec was called for. was lucky enought to hear it snap and back it out without it being stuck in the head. yall see this often? i'm read of weak bolts in these but never seen one till now.

All of the bolts are really soft. I learned to replace them instead of reusing. Also have to double check the manual for torque specs. The Nm seems to be right but their conversion to In and Ft #'s are not correct in some places. I only use the Nm numbers on the torque wrench.

The cam bolts scare the crap out of me. They felt like they were going to break removing them and I couldn't imagine using those over again or even using a new factory set. We found some grade 12.9 bolts to put in there instead.
