Hi all: I have a factory bulletin about changing headgaskets in
water-boxer engines. It must say in there two or three times not to use
a click type torque wrench to torque the heads. I bought a dial type to
do my engines. Maybe what you are discussing in this thread is why they 
don't like ckick type wrenches.  Todd Francis
