Yeah nothing cheap these days especially these cars. Did you use a torque wrench? I did not when I snapped mine and THAT is the reason I snapped it. Live and learn

this is why i dont use a torque wrench... i replaced my left head. Milwaukee impact until it stopped, back checked with a regular ratchet for piece of mind. 2 years later im still good.
honestly the last time i even used my torque wrench was on the barrel nut for my ar15, it was 40 to 80ftlb so i didnt really need that at all.
pay attention to what it felt like coming off and put it back to that same feel.

I’m better off using one. The feel of things changes with me day-to-day especially on a weightlifting day
