    Hoping someone can help me out here.. I’ve been watching all the videos online and following along the nutsaboutbolts on Yoruba for a head gasket replacement. Everything was going well, but during the reinstall, when I was torquing the first cam bolt, it snapped! Fortunately I was able to back it out but I’m not positive what the part number is for the replacement (2012 Prius V) I did use new head bolts but none of the guides online mentioned purchasing new cam bolts (the 17 gold bolts holding the camshaft cap)

    1. Should I purchase all new bolts?
    2. Does anyone know the Toyota part numbers for the 16 long bolts, and the 1 short bolt?

    thank you in advance, this forum has been a lifesaver.
