I’d like to hear your opinion on when you really need to use a torque wrench
and when it’s really not that necessary. I know service manuals give torque
specs for every bolt, but I notice that with the exception of interior engine bolts
few mechanics use a torque wrench. I saw your video on torquing lug nuts but noticed for instance when you did the civic motor exchange, you didn’t torque the exhaust manifold bolts. Not criticizing just asking if it is necessary.Thanks great site. I get tired of watching shows like West Coast Customs and Boyd Coddington’s Hot Rod where they work on cars that no real person will ever own or drive. I find your video’s a lot more entertaining, kind of like the show, Wheeler Dealers, where they work on regular cars.
