Good Afternoon and Happy Thanksgiving
I am having difficult torquing the engine bolt left hand top bolt. There is not enough room to get the allen hex socket and the torque wrench without hitting the head. I tired to cut down the allen hex socket to minimize the distance and still not enough room.
I cut an allen wrench inserted the piece into the allen hex and tried to get a crowsfoot, but the torque requirements are so high it cannot tolerate the high torque requirements without slipping.
I tried a box end wrench as an extension including calculating the torque, but the open end also keeps slipping. The three other bolts are properly torqued.
Should I just tighten it as tight as I can and "build on", mark it with torque marking and inspect it to make sure it has not backed off, add some Loctite
Any advice appreciated.
