SSplaytoy Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 After I installed my Corvette servo, I decide to do my thermostat. Long story short... While I was putting it back on a bolt snapped and it hadn't reached 7lbs like it says to torque it to. I tried to get it out for about three hours(Thanks Zippy for some advice). It didn't work so I had to take it to a machine shop and they did it. This happened last night and I am supposed to get my truck back tomorrow morning.

BenKey Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Sorry to hear that. I didn't know the tq spec. I have just always snugged them down. Been lucky, I guess. At least you got it fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdss Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Im guessing you should had tighten untill it feels right vs. doing it by the torq. specs then. Sorry to hear about the trouble, but atleast its getting fixed, my buddy snapped a bolt on his camaro's head while pulling off the manifolds, 2 grand later the thing still doesnt run right.
