Just finished putting new push rod seals in for the first time and hopefully this will end the drip drip drip. I never bought a 1/4" torque wrench cause it looked to sissy. Big manley 1/2 and 3/8 in the tool box. I picked up the 10ft lb's setting from Haynes to torque the nuts holding on the rocker assembly. On the 3/8 it felt like I was barely tightening the nuts, but it clicked. Almost no old fashion arm strong feel to know how tight the nut really was.
Is there enough use for a 1/4 torque wrench to justify buying one? On the same topic, do socket extensions or universal joints change the torque setting over just the socket? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Thanks Tool Guys! |
