    Both the one-piece and collared bolts break when over-tightened.
    Have to always remember to use torque wrench for final bolt tightening, instead of air-gun wrench.

    all willys/16valvers originally came with bolts with floating (loose) collars just below the head of the bolt

    the new clios have 1 piece bolts, muchos better, i haven't snapped any of those yet
