I guess I learned my lesson, "never guess torque specs..."
For some dumb reason, I was thinking cam caps on a VTEC head are tightened down 45-65lbs... I was wrong, & snapped two bolts off.
So... , this is what happened Is this "okay" to drive on?

 

Im gonna go with No and did you retighten the rest of them to the proper torque specs?

 

do not drive on this. It can and will cause damage to your head and possably your engine. If you were able to some how get all of them to torque to that amount or much over the factory amount then I would recomend new hardware. There is a possability you streched the other bolts.

 

easy outs and buy all new bolts dont ask me how i know this but just trust me. www.majestichonda.com

 

I only torqued down the two that broke... I guess I could try "easy out"...
what would a machine shop charge to get those two out?

 

the only reason why I would consider driving on this,
is that the cam caps are joined, and there is a tower on top...
so I would think everything is still held down pretty good???

 

NO, get it fixed. Would you rather spend $100 in machining now, or spend $400 when you score your cam and caps and generally fuck up your head?

 

I can deal w/$100 at a machine shop to get the bolts out,

can anybody recomend a machine shop in NoVA, that can do this work, and also re-surface the head, + install new valve seals?

 

Get easy outs

Go to the junkyard to replace

$0.02

 

I WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND AN EGINE FLUCH CONSIDERING HOW NASTY THAT HEAD IS.

And just to let you know. Never I mean NEVER quess torque specs! EVER again! Also you need to tighten them from middle to end not from end to end.
