You for a torque wrench that goes that low? Mine doesn't go below 20.

I do have a small inch-lbs torque wrench, but has been 50 years I know of that it hasn't been calibrated. When I was in college rebuilt and Audi motor. Thought the in-lb wrench was ft-lb. Torqued those rod bolts down to every bit of 44 in-lbs. Made it 300 miles before it threw a rod through the block knocking the fuel pump clean off. Remember going to the salvage yard to get another motor for $700...they showed me the motor running with it on a fork lift with a battery hooked up and the coolant lines going into a bucket of water. Sold it right after swapping the motor and got a used 77 Cutlass Salon.



After spending the last 3 days removing paint from trim, painting, going up and down a step stool, and crawling around on the floor, hurt all over. Feeling very old.
