Is this normal or have a stripped the thread? I was using a torque wrench but 6 ft/lb is very low and I'm worried my wrench isn't accurate and has over torqued them.
What are my options?
Thanks.
Edit. And now a bolt has snapped

Hey, I saw your post and will be doing the same job. I found this
link which I think may be helpful for the bolt that snapped. For the other bolts that went loose, did the bolts or the engine lose their threads or were they all snapped?
Anyways, I hope you were able to fix your situation. Good luck on the fix my dude.
