maybe I shoud have. The same top tensioner bolt broke at the exact same spot on my 94cs turbo and my 94cs (wrecked two Decembers ago). Both instances I spotted the broken bolt with the belt looped loosely inside my garage.
Since I used the last long bolt for that application last night. I'll have to use a grade 10.9 bolt in the future. (I picked up a couple a while ago.) I am a little hesitant not knowing if a stronger bolt may shift the weakest link somewhere else, for example the casting on the timing cover.
