I overtorqued!!!!!

[nestorb98]

Mea culpa!

I over torqued and broke a camshaft bearing bracket bolt after succesfully replacing eight valve stem seals in my 190e 2.3.

I knew I shouldn't have gone that far but all the other bolts clicked at the proper torque setting...this one didn't and I just turned it one-more-time and "snap"...and everything else was going soooooogood!

My thoughts are:

#1. Take the head off and take to machine shop.

#2. Three bolts could hold the bracket down...75% how bad could that be?

#3. Find a device that can extract the broken bolt out of the head and get a new bolt.

#4. Wait for one of you guys to show me an alternate way.

#5. Buy a bottle of Famous Grouse and start drinkin' again.

Thanks in advance for your kind words.
