OOH NOO!!! I JUST BROKE A BOLT
I just broke the fourth bolt that attaches the cam chain tensioner - the one lone bolt by the spark plug. I torqued all the other bolts to 7 ft pounds and this one snapped down in there.
Is it going to be OK to drive,, and just the kind of thing I can worry about until the next cam seal replacement, or does this need to be taken care of asap?
I'm just going to sit in the garage with the car running now...

my torque wrench didn't seem to be calibrated correctly at first
so that one was over-tightened, I'm sure. What do you suggest? Now that I have done this to myself do I have to pull out the cams, etc.?
Or do you think I could use an extractor to try to get it out?
thanks
