I have never had problems with over-torquing. I've gone to 60#, which is what two friends with a shop in Phoenix recommend. I do use the copper gasket spray. Bill /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-

I don't think they are more prone to leaking. Not necessary. This one confuses me. You don't need to remove the engine to take the head to a machine shop. I do recommend you take the head to a machi

I've heard from some who went through this with his GT2 Tiger that the bigger studs/higher torque just deform the block and cause problems. No, but I need to remove the block to take the block to the

Reputable isn't the key. Calibration is a maintenance item on the click style torque wrench, any of them. Call Snap On for info. You're right ... If is a problem of overcoming friction. But if it is

If those machining marks are just the typical marks left after a head is milled I think you are wasting your time. Perhaps even causing trouble. I can't believe a piece of sand paper is going to imp

This is the part of John's instructions that have always confused me. "Two strands of stranded, flexible wire"? Ok, are we talking two single thin wires, or two pieces of stranded wire? /// or try h
