Torque to yield!!!
Ok so the new claim to fame is TTY (torque to yield bolts) They are showing up all over the car industry. Now i have been doing it for many many years now. Normally i just put a dab of paint on the bolts and go from their. Example the 2.3 ford. 51 FT/LBs +90-100* simple. But i just die a chevy AVEO for JR girlfriend. She was in a bad accident and he car was totaled. She washiznit from behind and pushed in to the car in front of her at a traffick light. The guy was on his phone. So settling for 6500 Bucks paying off the rest of the note and bingo 2500 bucks for a replacement car. So i picked up a 2005 AVEO with a busted TB. Removed the head and threw it in the dumpster. Called my main man Paul at chevy and ordered a brand new head and related gaskets and belt along with all related moving parts under that timing cover. problem TTY bolts. But different setup. 5 step torque procedure. 18 FT/LBS then 60 then 60 then 60 then 10 final. So clearly i can gauge 60therr times is 180* plus 10* But who wants to. So here is my question. What type of angle torque wrench to buy?? They are pretty hefty pricee wise and that is not the issue. The issue is options. Mack has a wrench with memory even if you cant make a full degree pull because of space confinement. Snap On has a good wrench but outrageously expensive. So question is what TTY or angle wrench do you guys have. Just want some imput. Thanks :hick:
