Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey all! While trying to reinstall my cam shafts after changing the chain guides I broke one of the three bolts that go through the variocam actuator. I torqued them according to a YouTube video, after breaking the bolt I checked the manual and yeah, definitely over torqued them. But anywho, does anyone know where I can buy these bolts? Googling does not seem to turn up anything and I can't find anything on pelican parts, definitely a first for me.
