This has been bugging me since I disassembled my engine. On a few of the connecting rod nuts, my 14mm socket won't fit. It fits the nut just fine, but there isn't enough room between the rod itself and the side of the nut. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
My concern is now how to get a good torque reading when I put it back together. I've got a set of crow's foot sockets, but I'm worried this will throw off the torque reading. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. But it still doesn't make sense to me why the socket won't fit... |
