Question for the 6 bolt head guys what sort of tool setup did you use to torque the 6th stud in the lifter window?

Found something to work called a torque wrench adapter!

That's what I use. Looks like this:

Yep that is what I have coming! What did the length of the wrench do to the torque value ?

It depends on the orientation; straight out you reduce the torque value but if you turn it 90 degrees, you keep the same value. When I bought them, they came with a formula to calculate how much to reduce the torque if used straight out. It's going to depend on its length.

I'm going to have to try and find out the formula i bought the wrench of ebay its a used snap on they should have it listed somewhere.

Here is a torque calculator for many types of adapters=

The inner and outer 8 mm studs don't require but 24 ft. lbs. of torque and a torq wrench is not as important as getting a wrench in there, I use a ratcheting wrench I milled the end so will fit between the block and the nut.

these nuts are tighten enough to keep the head from lifting between the studs.

Do not over tight them as this is not necessary, they sit in the outer edge of the head.

Their purpose is not to be part of the head torque but to keep the head from lifting.

Keep it 90 degrees for that adapter and torque to spec.

That will add a few extra lbs based on the formula but probably not enough to worry about I think it was 2lbs.
