spark cover bolt broke! HELP

[m0nty]

I take it that this long bolt thing also serves to hold the valve cover on and the plug cover as well? Why not leave it broken, it doesn't seem worth the effort of messing with it.

I agree. If you broke it changing a spark plug cover imagine the damage you could cause taking it and the camshaft cover plates off.

ppl tend to "overtighen" these bolts. Oh dear!

Have fun finding a replacement. That will require rocker cover to come off and address the bolt bolt/stud. And remember to torque it down properly with a torque wrench. Think its about 20-22ft pounds.

I just guess ill get someone with more mechanical background to replace it for me

thanks for the help guys!

Dave thanks for the pic, now at least we have the torque specs for all those bolts.
