 Torque for Oil Plug

Not a big NASCAR fan but wondered on the same type topic watching race. Those guys win and lose a lot of money on simple stuff. No doubt they tighten everything just right. No room for mistakes.

So where are the torque wrenchs in the pits for tire changes? Am sure the impact wrench has a limit to it, but a factory value?

Willie,

You may be right, but I thought overtight was "stripped".


As to being able to "feel" the proper torque: those guys changing I guess 5 lug rims which means 10 lug nuts to proper torgue in a second or so each is right quick feeling.

Guess the song "Feelings" was written about those guys.

I do agree there is a common sense feel to proper torqued nuts and bolts.

Willie,

Broken, understand.

Paint on oil pan, not sure who is doing what on painting oil pans but the last few on autos I have seen (floor too far last few years) have not been painted. My father in law's mid 70's chevy pickup came with no finish on oil pan. When he asked they told him it was to help it give off heat.
