Need stock valve cover bolts in Southern Ontario

[2blacklines]

Hi guys. Just in the middle of installing new valve cover gaskets. I was torquing them to 44lbs as i found online. i should have went with the "just snug" advice i also found. I noticed the wrench wasn't clicking so i backed off and started low. One, first bolt snapped. Anyone have any valve cover bolts in southern ontario, Durham Region? or close to it? If not, no worries i'll have to source some.

thanks for the help. Let the good time roll.

those bolts are not 44 ft lb they are 44 inch lbs or about 3.5ftlbs ..if you referred to the chart at turbobuicks.com you need to relook at that chart

I’m getting some spare parts from a couple boys here. Probably not a bad idea. Thank you everyone for your help.
BTW, I have an inch/lb torque wrench in order.
