Guess what I did!
I bought a torque wrench so I would not sinch the valve cover bolts down to tight. I set the wrench to 144 inch pounds (12 ft pounds) and slowly screwed it in, still not feeling the click, and thought to myself, this seems like it's more that 12... CRACK! Yep! I snaped the center bolt on the driver side! Damn! I took her to my mechanic today. [sigh...]
Two steps forward, one step back. Looking anxiously for the next two steps forward now! Merry Christmas!
