Jay,
I still have my lever-beam torque wrench, but it's hard to read while
one is using it. I bought my clicker wrench back in the 70's when it was
the latest thing on the market and I was told then, it was more accurate
(because you didn't have to read the scale). I guess the headbolt
threads should be cleaned out with a tap too. But, now I read on the new
engines, one should not use a tap to clean out the threads. Also, when
one is renewing the head gasket on the new cars, the head bolts need to
be replaced too. My god how things change.
Have a nice weekend
Jan
