4 bolts go into the head from under the intake valley. The torque wrench will hit up against the china wall in the intake valley. So you can get a socket on, but not the torque wrench.

I might let me go check/ sorry while I was looking for it I remembered I loaned it out to never have it return to me. I never really used it so I forgot all about it.

Cool.:thumbsup:

Just remember when you use it you have to compensate for the offset from center of the torque wrench. The formula's are out on the net somehwere, but i don't remember where. I'm sure a quick search with the google machine would find the answer. Also any extensios that are used also affects the torque wrench too.

He's probly looking at a torque over 60Ft Lbs, and most crows foot wrenches start to spread at that rate, causing bolt round out.

vertical extensions? I always thought it didnt matter as you werent applying a torque in the z direction
