Message	um, that is when it does click. It is really subtle at lower torque, but at high torque it is distinct. I just don't trust it anymore. I should have been smarter than that to, but this is the first time I've ever torqued anything to spec before too. Soo I just didn't know. I'll never, EVER make that mistake again.. The FSM is your friend (minus parts that it leaves out about the rod bolt torque settings). Brock '90 300zx N/A coupe Converting to Twin Turbo!
