Pulling my 3/8" torque wrench revealed the bolts were closer to 12-14 ft./lbs. 
And as kkim pointed out, the header runs close to the oil filter cover and it's easy to splash a little oil on there  |
Looks like I might have to loosen and re-torque. Is there any damage I could have caused over tightening other than snapping the bolt?
