Torqueing Rt. Side #16 head bolt?
Any secrets for getting a torque wrench on #16 bolt in the sequence on the right hand side head? There's enough room to get the torque wrench in there but no room to swing it.
I know you guys that have done this in the car must have come across this little PITA. My torque wrench has a fairly long handle on it and that is one of the problems.

Never Mind - I figured it out. If I would have just used a few more brain cells for a few more minutes it would have occured to me.
The extension was part of the problem - getting just the right length was key. I found a long half inch socket that just got me there.
Thanks for putting up with my dumb questions!!
