I replaced the crankshaft in a Honda GCV160 vertical shaft (lawnmower) engine that I got for cheap on craigslist, and I put Hondabond on the cylinder barrel before joining it and the oil pan together. When I went to tighten the bolts attaching the cylinder barrel and oil pan to each other, I tightened them all partially and then set my torque wrench to the specified 9 ft lbs and tightened them in the correct pattern. When I went to do this, a couple of the bolts just kept turning and turning; one actually snapped in half (torque wrench never clicked). Would it be best to buy new bolts and just tighten by feel (if my torque wrench is bad since I got it pretty cheap), or would the threads be damaged in the cylinder? Will it damage the liquid gasket if I were to replace the bolts with new ones after the liquid gasket has completely cured?
