these bolts every time I change the oil, from now on." Jay, I'm sure you know this from your motorcycle Zen days, but I've learned (and relearned a couple times) to be certain the click-type torque wrench setting is correct before using it -- and to loosen it completely before putting it away. (Maybe the latter is an old wives' tale.) I've also learned to be careful to note whether foot-pounds or inch-pounds is specified. It seems that aircraft bolts are often torqued considerably less than I would expect them to be. Regards, Jon (not an A&P or even a motorcycle mechanic) PS: I shall now be checking my engine's bolts. Thanks for the heads up! |
