Cylinder Stud Torque

[JonS]

i know all torque specs, but how the hell do you get in that tight space to torque the bolts down. for now i have snugged them up good. i will not run this thing until i figure this out. what are you guys using?

use a crows foot, usually can get them at sears or online

Yea, Crows foot is the proper way to do it but i have one and i will be the first to admit that i never use the damn thing anyways. If you snug them down real good and then after you run it check again you shouldnt have any problems. I would only be concerned with proper torqueing of the head bolts. Those crow foot adapters really dont seem to be very accurate anyways.

yeah i hardly use mine either, i just snug the snot out of them and i never have any trouble. make sure u use cometic gaskets or oem, vitos suck ass.
