Anyone here work for A.R.P.? Broken head bolt Recieved a new set of studs today 234-4317 and broke one off...Broke off at 60Ft lbs and heard there was a bad batch by someone local and wanted to find out the scoop about seing if my set was involed i received and maybe get a new set and star over..The one that broke was one of the 7/16 studs and was the last one on that side and just would never "click" the torque wrench..When i thought it was about to the stud just broke off..I ordered a pretty big can of the assebly lube and everything was clean and lubed well...Dont know what to think really..Any help with this would be greatly appreciated...

I had a bolt snap as well[last week]. Still haven't finished trying to drill and extract it. ARP offered to inspect my whole set if i sent them back but I didn't want to pull the other head. now im getting worried i'll snap another on the final pass to tighten everything! They sent me a new one right away atleast.
