    Sheared bolts on generator

    I'm thinking it was overtightened bolts. I've seen similar failures on flexplate/flywheel mountings to car or truck engine crankshafts. Once the first one let go the others were under more stress. If they were all overtightened to the same torque, crack propagation is a definite possibility.
