ok, before you go and get the impression that I am a complete barbarian in need of a good stern talking to about this stuff.........
I was ASE certified master 20 years ago
I own 18 torque wrenches of various designs
and have owned, built, and wrenched on tons of thoroughbred engines
including highly strung Italian and German V12's
I even own calibration equipment and I can tell you I've never had a tool truck guy that owned his own and could check my torque wrenches without having to send them off
and of all the world class technicians I have worked beside
I've yet to check a single one's torque wrench that was spot on accurate and many fail to even store the spring loaded click type correctly which puts them far out of whack with a quickness, seen more than I can count that needed a new spring and other parts just to be calibrate-able
I don't get nearly as anally bent as I used to about minutia but I do have great respect for a well calibrated torque wrench and properly torquing fasteners
try doing a GM 440T4 Transmission without a good one
some fasteners clamp 7 layers of cast and machined billet aluminum and will really wreck your week if you don't nail it
I guess I should get off my butt and upload onto my domain at least the last 8 years gearheading mayhem stored in digital form on a few hard drives
but I did run across some really good pix of HiPo honda stuff last night including a CB head fully prepped by Yoshimira
no idea why I sold all that stuff but CB750 engines are just too heavy to suit me and for their power potential
so anyhow, I promise I'm not ham fisted boor
but it does amaze me that I've managed to screw together a Tourbillon that worked just fine afterwards, talk about high performance metal, and strictly all by feel
peace out and wish you the best with those fasteners
