Torque Wrench Where can i get a torque wrench that goes as low as 5ft lbs or maybe even 9. I am planning on doing a cam install, my friend is going to lend me one that goes to 150, but i want one that at least goes as low as 5. Or anyone can chime in on what they used during their cam swap. Thanks

I got a torque wrench from Mac tools, it will go down to 30 in-lbs, I am mainly use it for valve bodies on automatic transmission. You might can find one cheaper but you will need one that is very accurate.

Thats the thing when i read LS1howto there were a few things i believe that needed to be tightened down to 9 ft lbs. i believe one of them was the oil pump pick up tube bolt. I know i can do it with a regular wrench, but i want to make sure i don't get carried away and put it to tight. Or even the oil pan bolts, last thing i need would be to have a leak or to break one (knock on wood). Also what 3 armed pulley puller did you guys use to take off the crank pulley?

Inch pound TQ wrench will work for your 9lb - 108in/lb
I snapped off the pickup tube bolt when I asembled my motor the first time
For the puller - most 3 arm pullers will work, put a 3/8 extention in the crank bolt hole - works like a charm
