Entity David Beierl spoke thus: > Does that mean that you're methodical and always use the correct torque on > your bolts, Never used a torque wrench. I am methodical in the sense that I tighten the bolts until I feel the metal stretch. It is not "pumping iron", more like tuning a musical instrument. One reason German metallurgy is so great, you can feel the metal stretch. This is one of the pleasures of engine work. > or that you don't break bolts because you're not strong enough? I cheat, (ever heard of a "cheater bar"?). Rachel http://www.gnarlodious.com
