major problem today
i found out that bolts don't like me 2 day
last week it was the bolt that holds the control arm in well 2day it was 2 of the 3 bolts that hold the alternator bracket on. 1 was a grade 8 and the other was a stock bolt. the stock bolt broke off so far into the head that i couldn't get it out didn't get to go to work 2day because of that. looks like i get to do another H/C/I upgrade. stock E7 heads, ported and polished (their all i got), springs and rockers to match the E-cam and a performer (single plane) edelbrock intake got everything took off 2day except for the timing cover because it started raining

i have absolutely no idea but I was almost to work (about 5 mi.)and i started hearing some squeelin let off the gas and pushed in the clutch it stopped then i resumed and started hearing it again i pushed in the clutch, shut the car off, and pulled off the road.
I took the hood off and didn't see anything wrong so I turned it over and seen the alternator goin sideways and that's when I seen the bolts broke

i took apart the top end of the engine last night and found out (pretty sure) why it was runnin pretty hot. there was a piece of permatex blue glue in one of the water journals
(not a main one but one where if i drove it hard it would try to run hot on me
