Was wondering if there is a name for the cam cap bolts? If it is even called that, snapped the last one of the 20 which is annoying. Got the old one out using superglue and just turning it.

Its for a sr20det if that matters?

I wasnt 100% sure they were just called cam caps, seems there would be a more technical term haha.

Are they not just "bolts", used to secure the cap of a camshaft bearing?
Anything special about them?
Just look for a bolt supplier, who can give you one of the right size and right quality.

Worrying that you snapped one! Is your torque wrench in need of calibrating?

Yeh... I think its not very happy with such low ratings, google seems to suggest a few people have snapped them on sr20's though so luckily im not alone.

What is the torque figure? Anything up to 20Lbs-ft is little more than hand tight - with a tweak.
For low readings, I use a beam torque wrench - like this. very cheap and never goes out of adjustment!
