thats a terrible situation.Are you sure your torque wrench is accurate? Have you dropped it? Are you using the right conversion? (foot pounds, inch pounds, nM)

very very very easy to mix up when not paying attention, we all do it. but this was the very first thing that came to mind (correct lbs). and no your bolts shouldnt break, they were designed for the torque! hope you get everything straightened out, sounds like a nightmare.

I was having the same problem when I was tightening down my cam cap bolts. 25 in/lbs or something like that and I kept snapping them at 25 ft/lbs.

I think you made some mistakes haha. you aren't in the right units. These bolts don't just break.

| The head bolts broke at 75 ft-lb. I just got a new torque wrench. I just checked and I confused in-lbs with ft-lbs. |
Yeah, you might break some bolts if you are using 12x the designed torque.
