I want to remove and replace my Dellortos and the instructions are to torque to [EDITED] 13 inch-lbs. Most of you know what that feels like intuitively, but I'm a newbie and don't want to screw up my new toy.
I don't yet own a torque wrench -- don't think I've even used one before. I'm wondering which one I should buy for this and future 914 stuff. E.g. my valve covers are converted to bolt on. |

I find this digital 3/8 wrench super handy. Range is 2-37 ft/lbs, which is in the sweet spot for a lot of stuff. Especially the sensitive ones like the oil strainer / sump bolt, rocker assembly nuts and exhaust manifold nuts. It makes progressively faster beeps till you reach your target. It displays in .10 increments
