Re: Timing cover Q's

did my chain, sprockets, guides, and tensioner, and when i was torquing down the 10mm cover bolts i broke two in half.
When was the last time you had your torque wrench calibrated? Did you clean the threads on the bolt and the hole? Were you using any liquid when you put them back in (locktite, oil, any oil residue on the bolt) liquid cuts your torque in half. EX: When you have oil on a bolt (or in the hole), when you get to 35lbs, you are really at 70lbs.
