Sparky_Spit Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Excellent tip on the torque wrench test John! Did both of mine and found the big one to be 1NM over-reading and the small one 4NM under-reading, both tested in the middle of the range. I can live with that and adjust setting them accordingly.

dougbgt6 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I checked my torque wrench with a bags of water softener salt as John describes. In a strange parallel Mr Lewis and I couldn't get my cylinder head off because the studs wouldn't come out, even with Pete's impact driver. In retrospect I think my brother had screwed them in on a previous rebuild. Dad used to call him Gorilla Hands due to his party trick of stripping sump bolts.
