Thanks for the feedback gang. I hadn't thought about a pawn shop - I've never been in one, but after watching 'Pawn Stars' (great show ) I have a new respect for that business model, so I'm going to give that a shot.

i would also add that in many cases the true torque is not as important as having all bolts torqued to similar values (within reason). Have a repeatable torque wrench will accomplish this.

I'm looking to buy one for the eventual rebuild of my motor, starting to build my tool collection now for what I'll need when that time comes....

I have an old (made in USA) Craftsman beam wrench now. but I'd be hesitant to use it as it's not a high end model.
