Torque specs on clutch springs....need help!!
Well I got my 40% stiffer springs in today to replace my 60%ers. I started torqing down one of the clutch springs and the manual states at 89 inch pounds. I kept turning to feel/hear the click and snap.. bolt sheared off. I cleared it out and tomorrow I'm on the search to find a replacement at a hardware store... but I tried it again to torque down another bolt but alas still no clicking (maybe torque wrench went kaput only after a few uses) and I just bottom it out. I don't want to risk another broken bolt. I know this sounds lazy and trying to side step here.. but can I get away with snuging the bolt? I know I torqued these down before but I somehow it doesn't click to that spec.

I have had the same result on various bolt inside the engine. I just back off the rating from say 89 in/lbs to 70 in/lbs, and then judge from there whether it is tight enough. Of course, make sure it is in/lbs and not ft/lbs you are using. I twisted off a couple cam holddown bolts and now I just snug them up good by feel.

Sandman I agree....it doesn't seem to be clicking I'm going to check the torque wrench and see if it's faulty. Hopefully I can get this beast running right
Just curious.. what is a good tool to remove broken bolts? I had an extractor/easy out but had problems with those.. is there something better out there?
