Damn it. Broke thermostat housing bolt
yup. Are they not suppose to be super tight or are they just old **** bolts? Need to pick up new ones after work now and figure out how the heck to get it out.

I broke one not long ago, if you torque it to spec it will probably snap before it gets there. Put anti-seize on them and just get them tight, you don't have to go crazy at all and it won't leak.
Same deal if you ever take your fuel rail off. Anti-seize! Damn small frail bolts.

89 lb. in. is the torque spec. That's not even 8 lb. ft. Best to know specs before tightening bolts. A clue is the small head on the bolt and it's small diameter.
