I have the sequence instructions, I respectfully submit it is virtually impossible to follow the 90 deg and 180 deg turns w/o perhaps removing engine, the space is just too cramped. Has anybody ever delved to figure after all that what an equivalent ending torque would be? I am not really prepared at this point to completely remove engine be able to turn the wrench handle these degrees specs and especially have it within 10 degrees! perhaps has somebody finished the procedure and just for kicks pressed the wrench enuf to get a reading and see what the final ft/lbs ended up at? hoping for some real life guidance here
thanks

ok thanks, that makes sense, still would like to know the intended ft/lbs if any body knows
