Took the crank out. Honed each cylinder. Cleaned everything and reinstalled the crank. Installed all the pistons. Went to tighten the rod bolts. Torqued them all to 35ft/lbs and then to 45ft/lbs. Broke a bolt on the fourth bolt at 45ft/lbs. Going to buy a set of ARP rod bolts now.

Anyone know where to find the oil pump gasket? Or should I just clean and use silicone gasket or what?
