Stripped primary case
Okay guys here's a good one for you..Im in the process of swapping out both cam and primary cover. Started on the cam side, snapped a bolt and decided to move to the primary side. Much simpler until I got to the last bolt, was torquing it down to 7 pounds after working up from 3 pounds, and I heard a loud pop. Thought I snapped the bolt, but nope. Pulled the cover back off and it stripped the inside of the actual primary case somehow. So now what in the hell do I do? The bolt will go in and torque down to maybe 2 pounds before it just spins. So now I have no idea what to do. Could I get a bolt that's like maybe 3/16 longer to thread through?

He's saying that may have been caused by a miscalibrated torque wrench.
Timesert would be the way to go. A longer bolt will just punch through the case if you try to torque it down, which will give you a much bigger and more expensive headache.
