It's worth the 40 bux. Save you hours and lots of @!%$&*!!

Found it cheaper: Same tool too.

Good luck.

any chance you'll make another one? if so, how much would you charge?

Make absolutely sure you got that back on tight enough because you can seriously damage the crankshaft if it comes loose during engine operation.

what did you use to torque it down to 215ft/lbs? my wrench only goes to 150ft/lbs?

Either borrow/rent a larger torque wrench, or borrow/rent a torque multiplier to use with your torque wrench from someplace.

Well, it took me an hour or so to make that piece...so I'll have to see if I can round it up (we're in the process of moving). I bought the big daddy torque wrench at sears. It was like $150, or so...but well worth the extra money!!
