When you going to fire it

Not sure. Planning in ordering the stuff to finish the motor Tomarrow , can't assemble the motor cuz yet as I need a torque wrench (gun a rent one again cuz im a cheap ass)
And I need to cut the allen for the exhuast header (I can't do it, I need to go somewhere). Not sure if I should fire it off before the truck is done tho ?

 

[John Parks]

Torque wrench for what, and why can't you cut the Allen lol

To torque the carb and such, Allen I can't cut cuz i need blades for my rotary tool and im having problems with the Chuck (won't be anything, need to buy a new Chuck lol), so I'll take it somewhere an get it done in no time.

It isn’t, your not working on a space ship but you do need to cut the Allen key

Yeah Allen key is 100% necessary, impossible to get to that header bolt ?

You’d think they would have designed it differently by now

 

[Z.hb71]

You’d think they would have designed it differently by now

Or you'd you'd think they would just include the feking tool ??‍ shouldnt have to cut your tool

 

[John Parks]

don't waste your dam money on a torque wrench. Use common sense when tightening them.

Personally not many cheap torque wrenches that go to inch pounds are worth a poop either.

 

[Z.hb71]

Ok then I'll not waste my time.
Also, it was shortened alright.....

No cutting tools involved ??

 

[DougStar]

For anyone wondering, how I did it (probably better off you didn't ?), was fakin around and stuck it into a vice and thought, "how brittle Is it?" So I wacked it wit a hammer and it snapped perfectly ??
