I completely agree. It is not practical to try and torque every fastener. I have had people correct me for not torquing 10 mm valve cover bolts to spec, lol. I got a good laugh out of that. obviously torquing head bolts or rocker arm bolts is important, but for the most part a lot of things can be done with impact to ‘close enough’ spec.

Hi I’m new to the forum but a long time video viewer. My fleet is growing exponentially. Currently I own- 1987 Buick Regal V6 that I restored over the past few years, a 1999 Chevy Suburban K1500 that I bought a month or two ago, a 2004 Toyota Camry LE 4 cyl, a 2015 Subaru Outback 2.5, and a 2015 Toyota Camry LE. I’m up to 5 cars! Current issues are- the Buick has an issue where it refuses to shift, bogs and eventually stalls when going up hills, the 2004 Camry just got a new O2 sensor but has 173,000 miles and is starting to develop an oil consumption issue, the Suburban just got 2 new catalytic converters, 3 new oxygen sensors, a valve body rebuild, a new U-Joint, a new master cylinder and front brake lines, and differential fluids changed, and now I’m dealing with some rust issues that it has on the doors and rocker panels and it needs a rear bumper and an emissions test. The two new cars run like dreams.
