Hi `Joe, so have I, but I didn't want to bomb Frank with my words every-time I read his posts...or he would be here all day & not get anything done 4-Sure

Nothing you don't already know at this point (are so I believe). Take your time, LISTEN and FEEL for the torque wrench to click. Follow the torqueing info I sent you a while back, you will be fine, I have NO DOUBT!!
