hello AGAIN guys :boom:
i had an oil leak into the well of one of the plugs, which i thought was the rocker cover gasket, so after buying the correct kind of torque wrench and a new gasket, i tried to check that the bolts were actually at the correct torque before doing a refit and low and behold.... three of them just spin ( numbers 4,11 and 15 in the tightening seq), and one is completely snapped (14)!
no wonder oil was leaking into the plug well!
my question is, is it ok to re-thread the aluminium bolt holes in the cam carrier and use a slightly bigger bolt at the same torque?
i feckin hope so i'm not spending anymore money on this hippo.
