Bolt go SNAP!

Well after putting in the colder plugs for the Intense stage 4 i was tightening down the last plug wire(or whatever) and bam the bolt snapped. Luckily.... VERY LUCKILY i was able to unscrew what was left of the bolt out of the hole, guess ill run up to home depot tomorrow to get a replacement. Was weird, wasnt that hard to turn when it snapped, maybe just a weak bolt? Anyone know the torque they are supposed to be?

Hopefully that was the thing that goes wrong on this upgrade, and everything goes perfectly...

I also took off the tensioner pulley/bracket, grinded it and re-installed no problems, is it supposed to move when screwed down still? it shakes VERY little from side to side but me and my brother in law think its b/c its the tensioner.... any help would be great!!!

Oh yea, when you take off the injectors does fuel go everywhere the first time?
