And it was going so well. Front-end float was .0019"

I need a new bolt, but more importantly I have to get the broken end out.

(And a more accurate torque wrench for the very low end range.)

OK, panic subsided. I took the pump off and there was just enough of the bolt sticking up to grab and turn.

I don't use a torque wrench on those bolts for this reason.

Someone around here probably has a good used set for you. Yours are all stretched now.

I always turn about one turn past hand tight with a dab of red locktight on each bolt.

Tim, I have several of those oil pump bolts if you need one or two. Zap me your mailing address, I'll get them out ASAP.

Don't use red loctite on those bolts. The factory doesn't. I don't. Never had one break or get loose.

Place I always seem to go wrong is when the torque spec for one bolt is in in/lbs instead of ft/lbs. Many times over the years I have missed that tiny change in notation. To my agony.

Where it goes and what it is.

Thanks Ray. PM sent.

They're headed your way Tim. I'll send a full matched set of 4.

Ray,

All is good. They have a new home.
Thanks so much.

I'm no good a guess torque, so I got a 20-200 in-lb wrench. 5-7 ft-lbs works out to be 60-84 in-lbs, and that is a relatively light touch.

Probably old news but during disassembly after each part was cleaned it went into a labeled ziplock baggie and like parts were stored together in old (cleaned) litter pans.
