Rear oil strainer - 6 bolts - wierd feeling?!
Hey,

me and my friend started putting together my new engine today. We've done almost the entire bottom end and there were no problems. Thumbs up!

But when i wanted to put on the rear oil strainer plate with those six bolts the feeling was just wierd. The manual says tighten them 9.3 Nm, but when i started to screw in the bolts, the feeling was very "buttery" like they were going to snap off any minute and one screw did! And thats even before i've reached the "pitifull" 9.3 Nm. Theese size 10 bolts have two line marks on them (- -). which, according to manual are 5T grade and should be able to withstand 32 Nm. I really dont want to break all of them..

Anybody else had symilar problems? Advice, what should i do?
