verse Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Does anyone have a torque wrench Andy and I could borrow for the next day or two? We need it to retorque head bolts once we get Andy's new head gasket on. PM me or Andy F. We will be able to get it back to you probably by Friday or Saturday.

Guest FastSaleen Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 If I can get my Saleen finished tomorrow afternoon, you can borrow mine. You aren't that far from me either - I'm around the corner in Galloway. I gotta put the top end back on my Saleen first, though - can your project wait until next week?

verse Posted April 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 We are going to be working in Gahanna. Toyota said that it's 90% a HG, but we need to have it done by this weekend b/c next week is the USDrift event. It has to be running by then if the HG isn't the problem. Racinbird, do you have a number I could reach you at? We are off Stygler on Forestwood. So you know where it'll be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Auto zone rents them for around $90 (you get your money back after you return it). JUST make sure you look at it before you leave the store. When I got one two weeks ago from the store on Agler, there was 3 inches of play in the fucking handle. Definatley toast. It took 3 more to get one that worked correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuruma Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I have one in the back of my hachi-roku that I can lend out, It's in the shop right now trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with the engine THIS time. The thing works fine, used it to do my own head gasket swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
