My parents bought me a Craftsman "click style" torque wrench back in around 1981 as a Christmas present while I was in Diesel Mechanics Trade School here in Tacoma. Its funny, just yesterday while using it here at home on my 1 Ton Ford lug nuts I thought about what will happen to the torque wrench when I'm dead and buried...lol. I thought, 'Good tools never change'. . My Dad still has the old "beam" styled torque wrenches. I don't think my Grandpa ever used a torque wrench...Then I had the clicker styled. Then they come out with dial indicators...then digital led...now this FANCY one for degrees! Holy crap, I can imagine my grandson (who is 3 years old and got a Craftsman tool chest for Christmas last year and metric/standard wrench sets this year)...when I die and he goes through my box and decides what to keep; it prolly won't be that torque wrench! Hahaha!!! But then I still have all my Grandpas old 1940/1950 Craftsman tools. Never use them but will never get rid of 'em either.
As inspirational as you are...you make me feel like I’m lazy...I usually work alone...Somedays on the road then nights in the shop...not close to the hours you work....Your a true leader.....Someday I’ll fly out and help you for a week, free of course, just to pay ya back for pushing me to keep going...Thanks
Ive never run into a new ring that was out of spec either but i still check em. Its the same as checking wrist pin clearances etc. Theres always that first time and on something where id be on the hook for a massive amount of labor at the minimum its worth the extra time for my own peace of mind.
You can use the ratchet function on the torque wrench and it remembers how far you have turned bolt head, very handy in tight spaces i.e. rear cyl. head bolts close to firewall.
Love to read some of the comments. Really? Always hated doing the bottom end. Years of working on Detroits two strokes. V engines were the worst. Thumbs up
1st first, love your videos, you are very good at what you do. wish I was closer, I would come in and clean up a few hours a week for free. I've noticed that lots of tool manufacturers don't include 18 mm tools in many sets, maybe because that size is not as common for their intended application.
If you're looking to buy sockets in sets with no skips look at Gear wrench they sell a 1/2" drive metric impact set from 8mm - 30mm deep and standard in the same set. I got the set off Amazon for about $120. I just bought a fancy schmancy Matco torque wrench just like that snap on buying stuff like that hurts the old pocket book. I Shure hope it's going to be worth it longevity wise.
Another awesome video Warren. Yep, you are correct there will always, always be those who think they know better than the one actually doing a task / job. Generally those ones tend to be armchair knowledge bases or at least they think so. There is a big big difference between offering advice / help and being condescending / arrogant some could seriously do with learning the difference for sure. You just keep doing what your doing. Because you are you not them or anyone else. And because you are you is why we all look forward to the next great video that you post for us to watch :)
They do that with the sockets and wrenchs for a marketing reason. They do sell these sizes individually at double the price as a single wrench or socket in the set. You mite say they are stupid like a Fox!
Good job men..I'm waiting to listen that engine running because...i need the same job on my cm870 with 1,500,000 on my engine never open its time to refresh...aftermarket parts like that one are good?
@@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353 so we will be getting it by Sunday then more than likely. Glad the wife and i took the Side by Side out for a ride today and enjoyed the woods. Ill be putting my tracks on it soon i imagine so we can go play in the snow. Love our polaris Razor. :)
It's coming along. All the parts are in so there should be videos on the coming together of all the work. Thank you for watching and subscribing Mandy Rogers
Take a center punch and test the block (poor man's brinell tester) the metal is much softer than a Cat !!! If they'd of keyway slotted the camshafts etc I might like the isx engine's but I've worked on a few of em and drove several of em. I'D TAKE A CAT EVERYTIME !!! i like the old 855 s and the N14 stuff but I don't care for the isx engine's MY OPINION.

That snap on torque wrench is the ducks nuts
You are right Warren! In 35 years I have never found a ring gap at least on big engines that I needed to adjust.
As inspirational as you are...you make me feel like I’m lazy...I usually work alone...Somedays on the road then nights in the shop...not close to the hours you work....Your a true leader.....Someday I’ll fly out and help you for a week, free of course, just to pay ya back for pushing me to keep going...Thanks
Another step closer. I hope things go well with your service call.
Your truck needs care also to make it thier and back. Safe travels

I picked up one of those torque wrenches a few months ago and man do I love it.

Man I just want to jump into the monitor screen and lend you an extra hand. I know all to well what it's like working alone
jim 0311 well said....hard to resist helping a hard working guy like Warren...
1st first, love your videos, you are very good at what you do. wish I was closer, I would come in and clean up a few hours a week for free. I've noticed that lots of tool manufacturers don't include 18 mm tools in many sets, maybe because that size is not as common for their intended application.
Yeah. WTH! But they always come with 17 and 19 mm that I have never ever used.
Too true! Not since Canada was about the only foreign parts provider and a 13mm was what you used when you lost/broke the 1/2 in. :)

Hey buddy how you doing good job love your videos I was just wondering with the parts and your time is it still cheaper than like a good used engine
Warren is the Camshaft sensor reading the Intake Cam? Service info for the Engine diagrams I have dont list it.
What I've always wondered was how does the torque wrench know that you've moved to the next fastener.🤔
I don't get the adjustable idler what keeps it from running eccentric?
Raining there and snowing here in Idaho
Snowing here now.
@@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353 so we will be getting it by Sunday then more than likely. Glad the wife and i took the Side by Side out for a ride today and enjoyed the woods. Ill be putting my tracks on it soon i imagine so we can go play in the snow. Love our polaris Razor. :)
Why that tool socket company did not put in a 20 mm is beyond - makes no since to me
What kind of torque wrench is that?
With all of the work you're doing did the guy get the truck cheap enough that it still ends up being a good deal for him?
He only paid 15
That is a good price if everything else holds up for a year he will make money with that truck.
With all the fires, there's a lot of rehab and logging to do, so he should be fine.
How's the new shop trucking doing?
It's coming along. All the parts are in so there should be videos on the coming together of all the work. Thank you for watching and subscribing Mandy Rogers
i just got over the flu
Dad always told me to marry a woman with a good job!
I have used file fit rings on drag engines to insure that they fit the cylinder.
Dad always told me not to look for a woman in a phone book look for them in the plat book.
@@kevinwenzel324 LOL it took me a look or two to figure it out!
How much us that Snap On - just curious - $500.00

They allways leave out the 18mm because its the one people use most kinda stupid they do that.
Does anyone have warrens email?
