SOOOO pissed!.!.!.
about 4 hours ago, I was finally getting my upper back on, all lined up, gasket surfaces clean, etc etc. Well I start bolting it down. First 2 bolts the torqure wrench clicks for 15N*M (11ft-lbs) then I get to the 3rd, doesn't click, pull a little bit more to see if it will click...POP... UIM cracks. ()&*&(^*(#$&*(&@#_@# So now I have a shitty torque wrench which I spent 100 on earlier this week, a cracked UIM, and little hope of getting the car driveable so that my parents can have my brakes fixed before I come home for X-mas...
son of a b*(&#&@$
this stuff never goes my way. (on top of all that my oil pan still leaks...)

Sorry to hear about the intake tho... When I installed mine I did it in a random pattern and used a Nut driver... I wanted to make sure it wasn't much more than hand tight... as it said overtightening could crack the Upper intake...
Was the intake you had a Dorman?

I followed the FSM pattern.
