joho--this is common sense, but your mind might be concentrating elsewhere. When you're almost done, to make things easier, you can dump your oil right on top of the rocker assembly instead of bolting the valve cover back on and pouring it in through the hole.

 

hahaha!
you are right,
i wasnt thinking correctly...
that is a good point, but i still need a clean enough container that is large enough as well.
also, otter,
what the hell man, is there anything you dont know?
bruce, thanks for the info, but ill drop the $20 on the cheaper one at the place otter pointed out.

 

Plenty I don't know. Plus, I make a lot of mistakes, but I'm really good at learning from them.

 

amen.
lets hope i follow suit.

 

not me, I just kill the people who prove me wrong

 

the block bolt... umm, there are 6 of them with multiple washers on them?
i lost one of those somewhere... (in usually much better with these i swear)
and i lost the other grade 7 bolt that goes on the brass braces that go between the 2 and 3 coils. (1 between 1-2 and the other 2-3). they are shorter than all the other bolts.

 

sounds like my highschool learning environments



anyway,
otter,
you sure these guys will have a torque wrench with inch lbs?
if so thats only 20 mins away... and that would rule for 20$

score! actually... i might be wrong... doesnt say anything about gauging/measuring inch pounds...

 

that is the opposite of what you need

gotta make sure it's inch pounds.

 

Harbor Freight has everything. It's the toy store of tools. If you go there, plan to spend some time just browsing, tons of obscure/cool stuff. The one near me stocks no less than 6 different kinds of torque wrenches.

this one - http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...temnumber=2696

Will work. I use the 3/8" one and just convert in/lbs to ft/lbs. Obviously, 12 in/lbs = 1 ft/lb.

 

couldn't find those, HF's search engine isn't quite what amazons is

so that's the conversion huh?

 

HF's search sucks, their drill-down works better.

that one registers 20-200 in pounds...
and the other is for ft lbs.

 

80+- 9 in/lbs = 7 ft/lbs.
