    Crankcase, 10 6mm screws, torque

    Putting the case halves together. Can't find the torque from the manual other than the list that gives torque specs per size. Does 6-8 ft lbs sound right for the 10 screws?

    Do you (or anyone else) use a torque wrench for anything smaller than 8mm? And is so, what kind, or brand?

    I’ve never been able to get anything close to what I believe is an accurate reading, using a torque wrench on the smaller stuff, it always seems that i go way past 6lb before anything registers or clicks.

    Supposedly your wrist “breaks” at 9 pounds, perfect spark plug torque, so I just tighten the smaller bolts evenly rather than worry about any specific torque number and make sure that I never get to the point where my wrist starts to break.

    Curious to know how professional mechanics do it.

    I use snap-on digital torque wrenches. I know snap on is over kill for hobby tools but I need to be able to trust them. Plus I can always bring my torque wrenches onto the truck and check calibration.
