maybe you should go back and re torque them to 250.

its called a cheater bar son. saves what little muscles you got.
 
(1) cheater bars and torque wrenches don't mix

(2) 245 lbs? come on man, I'm under 200 and I can re-torque my tractor headbolts.....those are 295 ft-lbs each....:D
 
ummmmm I'm gonna have to go find something and torque it to 245 ft/lbs so I can tell him he got owned by a lil bitty girl.
 
rotunda sells a tool for about 40 bucks that will let you replace rockers off the carriers so you don't have to remove the head bolts.

:eek:wned:
 
Come on, its only 245 and the motor is bolted in. Try torquing 350 on a transmission that is on the floor by yourself.
 
Well I was sitting inside the motor compartment.

as for a torque wrench and a breaker bar....Its a no no
 
I use a 3/4 drive snap-on tq wrench. Its about 4 to 5 feet long. Maybe next time use a tq multipiler to make it a lil easier on you in the engine bay.
 
My motor was out on a palette.. I had a hard time keeping if from spinning on the ground while trying to hit the #
 
I guess you would really be screwed with the Track Bar - 369 ft/lbs.
 
when i used to work for holt cat, we had track bolts that were 550 them 3 sometimes 5 flats. sometimes on the d9 and up, we had to use torque multipliers to get some of them tight. breaking them loose was easy with a npk 1 inch impact 3800 ft. lbs. if it didnt break loose, we cut them out.
