Are there any brand recommendations for torque wrenches?

^^^^ lmao! :D Will, what would happen to the price of Koolaid if every person in the modern world started demanding it every day for their transportation needs, given the current supply?

With all the money you've spent on the project so far, why not treat yourself to a good torque wrench and never borrow one again? I'm going to, myself. ;)

Don't forget the 12 in-lb torque spec (I believe that's right - double check the tsrm) for the valve cover fasteners. Make sure you have consistent torque all the way around the covers. Since switching to the phillips head screws and making sure they were evenly torqued, I haven't had a drop...

How's yours coming Aaron?! I think I saw that you were within a couple of weeks of being done? I'm still willing to check out more highly recommended places, so let me know what you think of your shop in terms of price, experience with 7M's, other people who've had work done, and as much as...

I've been calling around and talking with machine shops to do my block work that have been recommended by word of mouth. So far I'm seriously impressed after talking with MDC's suggestion of William's Precision Engines, but they are 8 weeks away from being able to do any work and St. Paul...

Not in my world. I sat down a few months ago and figured that my 6 year old runs me more per month than my house payment by the time you figure in tuition to replace a worthless public school around the corner (that I also pay taxes for), karate lessons (optional yes, but in today's world...

X10!!!! :aigo:

Penalized for keeping myself out of debt and for investing in our economy (ie dividends received): I wrote a check for $623 to the federal asshats and $300 to the state of stupidity, er Kentucky. It amazes me how our government penalizes for working hard, producing more and investing...

I bought one for my daughter, and in all honesty I haven't been all that happy with it. ...well with the auto tranny, anyway. I bought '93 with 57k original miles in pretty good shape for $2500 cash a couple of years ago - great deal. She wanted an auto after driving a 5 speed Tercel for a...

Good to know... I'll keep the speed down. :) Back on topic!

I hate mice... kill some more! :D A little off topic, but I'm in the Portland and Eugene areas for the second time this year... Is it just me or does almost everybody actually stick to the posted speed limit around here?! I've been in most of the lower 48 and never seen anything like it...

Maybe she misunderstood and the hospital was running a "fix a leg, get a free new anus" special. :dunno:

Solubility of octane in water = immiscible, with a density lower than water. Ergo foam is a very good idea. Solubility of ethanol and methanol in water = infinite, therefore dilute with water until no longer flammable. So that's fact, but as I understand the way 'safety' is viewed, there...

I've seen some of you in this thread go ape over somebody making racist remarks in the past, but then I see a thread like this. It's not the first time I've seen a thread like this, and it hasn't only been directed at Catholics, either - it's been Baptists, Mormons, etc, etc, etc. Make enough...

lol, it's all in fun. :D I like the SAFC. Simple, priced right, proven over and over.

Erm, a google search of "Joaquin Johnson" NRA yielded exactly zero hits, and other similar searches landed me back at youtube. And at the risk of sounding stupid, exactly what talk show and host is in the vid? I considered taking this up with an email to the NRA, but it's hard to do when you...

But it could be sooo much grosser.... Hey, nobody ever said the deer was a fresh kill. :biglaugh:

Welcome Mike! I'm Kurt and live in Louisville, too - 90 Turbo Targa with pics on my cardomain page in my sig if you care to look. There's a decent number of guys in Louisville on SM, not to mention up toward Indy, Lexington, etc. Be sure to plan on making the meets this year: Indiana in May...

Stress related? I've had some of these when I've been completely stressed for long periods of time. Dr and dentist both told me it wasn't bacterial or viral and that they were only known to be attributable to stress, but I can't remember what they called them. They were agonizing and not much...
