Remove the tool, clean the shaft and gear completely, install the nut & washer, tq and to 144. In my opinion over torquing any bolt or nut is foolish. |
In my opinion, it doesn't matter your method, as long as you can consistently set it. I use my engine to rotate the
IP to my pin (stock 14deg). I measured the dia of the damper, calculated perimeter, and then can measure degrees rotation from there. It's not perfect, but it's super repeatable.
