So just how important is it really to use a torque wrench?  A mechanic I spoke to once said he never uses one for tune-ups.  But the Bentley tells you to use one for almost everything.  I've got to take the top off my thermostat - do I really need to go buy a torque wrench to put it back on?  The buggers are pretty expensive.....

Thanks,
Marla
