 +One of these bolts was broken off in a rocker box. The others were damaged but not broken. \\
 +These bolts were damaged due to a clicker wrench not operating properly. \\ 
 +The person using the torque wrench felt it happening yet kept pulling awaiting the click. \\
 +"I did notice before it snapped that it kind of spun for a second, then broke. One of the other bolts did the same thing and I stopped immediately."​ ((JeeperJay of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=1210515&​highlight=rocker+box+bolts&​page=2)) \\
 +Any time you have any amount of thread damage or bolt stretch, replace the bolts. \\
