Stopped trusting memory for torque settings and always use a gauge now.

It adds a minute to the job, but I've eliminated stripped threads. Anyone who wings it is risking a costly repair.

Preventing future engine knock is key, right? I totally agree with you, @murphy.barbara. Who wants to deal with that again?

You just stopped trusting your memory for torque settings? How did you ever get by before without stripping every bolt?
