17-02-14, 01:46 PM

10 Nm doesnt seem like a lot to me.
I am a novice, and thinking about doing this job aswell. Could someone tell me if there's any reason to go and buy a precision torque wrench or just do the cap bolts by hand?

It sounds to me like it wont matter too much if they aren't torqued a little less than 10Nm, since they are just keeping the lid on the engine, and wont take any pressure from within?
