You would be better off with head and block as bottom ends tend to go not long after a belt snap  |

Easy out is your best friend |

if your careful about it, you will get it out. Although i would be puzzled as to why did it happen in the first place? Did your belt kit come with a new bolt? |

...4k at 60, that heads well and truly knackered then. normally i would blame incorrect torque tighten but if you've done it right then it must be faulty bolt. Unlucky. |
