The Haynes repair manual for my 2008 Chevy HHR LS wanted me to torque the oil valve manifold bolts to 89ft lbs. I got my torque wrench ready today and as I did this, I snapped two bolts in the engine manifold. Haynes' torque specifications must be talking out it's behind. It certainly wasn't that hard to get oil valve manifold off. In ignorance, I was taking Haynes' word for it, but now I think I should have known better? It was the first time working with my digital torque adapter. Now, I'm going to have to get them replaced and find a way to get out what in the engine side holes.
The battery charger that I'm using is a Carquest CQ-80CR. From yesterday's log, this morning, it read an error code of FO5. Last night, I had both deep cycle marine batteries hooked up to simultaneously charge. I'm not sure if my little 8amp charger can really handle the load?
