Location: An island off southern Tasmania. | Got to use my Xmas present recently, a digital torque wrench.
Had to fit two heads to a Vrx.
The torque setting is 110 nm then zero then back to 110nM.
Start with a center bolt and work in a spiral outwards one bolt at a time with above torque settings.
It is so easy with this tool.
The net result is everything just works properly.
The Plenum bolts for example strip easily, with this tool it is childs play, no leaks, just like factory robots.
Here is the tool in action.
BTW the stainless steel head gaskets are reusable a couple of times.
