Torquing a bolt is not very precise no matter what. If you have a hard washer, good lube, and clean bits the stretch you get from a given torque can be much greate; /html/spridgets/2005-04/msg00110.html (9,080 bytes)

Only problem is that some gaskets don't like to be relaxed. Fortunately no LBC that I know of, but if you work on German cars (my experience is; /html/spridgets/2005-04/msg00113.html (10,695 bytes)
