The mazda was blowing smoke pretty bad so I replaced all the valve stem seals, I even paused to take plenty of pictures cause the manuals I have don't show any details. I was going to throw a how to together for future use by members. Anyhow, as I was putting the specified torque on the rocker arm assembly in the correct order the 5th bolt broke off in the head. I haven't tried to get it out yet but even if I do, where do I get a replacement set of bolts from? FML, if its not one thing its another.

sorry about your luck man, but i would check your local wrecking yards, or take one of the good bolts that are left and go to a hardware store and c if they would have one.

Well I atleast extracted the broken piece of the bolt. Now I just need a new set, any ideas where to get a set? The junk yards are not an option here.

The closest mazda dealership is an hour away from me but I called them any ways. They are going to ship one bolt to the kia dealership real close. The bolt is $4.86 and over night shipping is costing $4.92. All together gonna cost my butt 10 bucks for a little ass bolt. Thanks for replies and offer to junk yard dig for me. I might just take you up on the offer in the future
