Hey CmansX.

I am assuming you used my DIY on the VPG. The proceedure should be updated on the page in the notes section as other members that have done the DIY have also snapped bolts at 21ft/lbs. I did this job 3 times and at 21 lbs, I have not snapped one bolt. But I believe as a precaution, I noted that the bolts should be tightened hand tight then a 1/4 turn of the wrench, approx giving 13-16/ft/lbs. As for the snapped bolt... its a stud. I believe you can just back the stud out and insert a new one in. Doing one, should't disturb the head mounted to the block. But 2 or more on the same side will. In that case, all will need to be backed out and then retorqued down in an X pattern.
