just replaced the head gasket in Big Red.
(tappet chest area oil leak... so I pulled the head
to seal it up properly.)

Torqueing the head I was using my old fashioned
'flex-pointer' style torque wrench.  My 'clicker'
socket wrench looking torque wrench I just don't
trust it's settings anymore.  

Has anyone ever found the flex pointer style torque
wrenches to 'change' with age?

I'm just trying to get a handle on how well/evenly I think
I torqued the head.
