A wealth of knowledge here, also in A&P were to watch for movement and after
reaching proper torque, we had to go through it once more. If anything move
the slightest, we had to do it again, until it was dead on. Also we had
charts that stated how much more torque to increase for the length of the an
extension if used.

Then after finishing with the head, exhaust, etc., we had to check
calibration on the torque wrench again. If it wasn't true, you had to tear
it down and do it over again.
