I'm pretty sure the main engine bolt that you remove calls for a high-value torque wrench, and mine gave me a wee bit of gyp trying to get them lined up, but otherwise it's dead easy.

I've always wondered just how essential a torque wrench is? Wouldn't ba**ard tight do when putting it back together?

Torque wrench is as much about not overtightening as getting things tight enough... Not a problem with the big bolt but I think the smaller ones thread into the engine casing, you don't want to strip those...

Plus, using a torque wrench makes you feel like you know what you're doing.
