I was looking for a torque spec in the instructions because I was afraid this was going to happen. And it did.

So today I got the snapped bolt out and new set of bolts from Andrew and started completely over. I finished safety wiring to my best ability with the tools I had and am happy with it. This took way longer than I was expecting because the wire that wraps around the first bolt kept on coming up over the bolt head. Those of you that have done this know what I'm talking about.

I also drilled out an oil drain plug that I got from auto zone so I could stick my oil temp sensor in there. Hopefully it works.

I aslo started working on the Skunk 2 TB. All the gaskets and the IACV spacer lined up perfect but there is one screw which is like 2mm too long. Its the short one that is in between the IACV and the Spacer. EO2K, did you have this issue?

I don't remember having that problem. Are the gaskets in there yet? They might take up some of that space, or maybe swap the bolts? If I remember correctly the bolt in the center of your pic gets closed up inside the assembly, and it looks like its sitting below the surface? Sorry, I'm probably just not getting it, not enough coffee yet this morning.
