Rebuild: i broke of bolt inside main bearing!
hello while torquing down the main bearing on the flywheel side ... i torque down the big 6 bolts when i was suppose to bolt down the shorter ones.. anyways since they had the same thread size their was no way i could know.. anyways while torquing them down since teh bolts where longer i guess their was one bolt that the crasher was still loose on so i torqued down more andm ore until the bolt broke of inside. i quickly untroqued the rest of the 6 bolts and took the bearing out. now teh guys at atkins rotary told me to use a ez out broken bolt removal stud.. but like you know i had to first use a small flat head screwdriver and i banged it with ahameer to get the middle right like on an x and stuff anywaysafter that i drilled teh hole about half way then i used teh ez out to get it out the threads ar enot damaged or anything and none of the metal powder got on teh engine im just scared all that pounding and vibration might of messed somethign up, is there anyway i can check .. im thinking maybe an apex seal could of moved.. im really scared.. i just wanna know how bad teh engine could of been dmaged from all that pounding and vibration. It was on teh special engine adapter to hold the engine.

Don't worry about it. When you are done torquing down everything...go a head and put some oil in the intake port and exhaust port and rotate a couple revolution. Use a flash light and some ears to see if you damaged anything. I wouldn't worry about it to much.
We all make mistakes.
Anyparts you may need...I can probably get for you.
