Keith Browning Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I don't often get to torque head bolts with the engine mounted in a stand, but when I do, I do it vertically. For whatever reason I decided to do just that and I found it to be remarkably easier and smoother. Amazing how a simple change can make a difference.

Keith Browning Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Oh, the best part is that I didn't need someone to hold the engine stand to prevent it from rolling. That can get annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
