    BMW m52 camshaft tray stud bolt snapped

    I was doing a HG job and I was putting in the camshafts and I was torquing them down to 14 ft pounds and and the bolt snapped, it snapped all the way down in the head no threads and I have no idea what to do and i can’t even find the part number for the studs bolts

    Was curious about that stud and it looks like it might be hard to find. With so many damaged heads out there you might have to send a SOS signal for a forum member to help.
