Handiest torque wrench for 914 Type 4? Options

[98101]

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.

If you cannot operate the torque wrench you do not even have

Then if it were me

I would just bite the bullet have it professionally
Tuned or worked on so you can enjoy and drive the car in the shortest turn around possible .


I enjoy driving, not wrenching

But to each his own . All i know is some guys on here take their car apart and go decades before its back on the road .

Thanks -- yes I've arranged for professional help next week also. But working on it myself is a skill I've always wanted to have, and part of the reason for buying this project. Also it will be a few months before the weather here gets nice enough to drive.

My dad had a PhD, but didn't know how to drive a car, let alone fix it. I wish I'd learned earlier, and I'm jealous of most of the users here who seem to know how to drop an engine in the time it would take me to drive to a mechanic. The few things I have managed to fix/upgrade in the past were always more satisfying.
