while tightening up the head to today which i did in order as per book, also started at 30nm then 45 nm and finally 68nm the main centre stud snapped off in the block (used the wrong stud was silver colour unlike the hardened ones which are almost black)
luckily i had a set of easy outs so i got it out quite easy

Can i re use my head gasket? (its was payen bk450 or something metro turbo)
