Re: Top end Gaskets?

Just a final note, use a "Dog bone" adaptor on a torque wrench, you will be amazed the difference this makes to the ammount of extra torque you get, compared to using just a spanner.
Snap-On do them (expensive but just buy the ones you need) Look here:-http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?item_ID=2219&group_ID=268

Keep the adaptor at 90 deg (a right angle) to the torque wrench and you keep the same torque setting value as per the manual (I've got the instructions somwhere for angles other than 90 deg and will post them as soon as I find them)
