So i pull in today and my car is leaking anti-freeze, I open the hood look around and its comming out of the water pump, I decide to tighten the water pump bolts (thinking i didnt torque them enough after my recent cam installation) and SNAP :eek7: I broke the bolt off, so right now im too pissed ot even look and see if there is a nub sticking out or if its in the block, i dont even wanna know right now, un-freeking belivable, more bullshit work i have to do :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

That really sucks.. but when you think about it, its really funny too. I laughed pretty hard. That's something I would do. You have to put that on your list of dumb things you've done to "fix" your car.
